In my 10 gauge guns I use 30 grains of SR7625 a Remington SP-10 wad and either six 0000 , eight 000 , twelve 00 , twelve 0 , sixteen #1 , twentytwo #2 and twentysix #3 pellets . I also add some type of granulated buffer .
When I run out of SR7625 I'll switch over to Universal Clays .
With the 16 gauge I used 21 grains of Unique with the Claybuster knockoff of the WAA16 wad and ten #1 pellets . Again with some buffer .
In the 12 gauge I used SR7625 and 0 Buck with the Claybuster knockoff of the WAA12 wad but off the top of my head I don't remember the number of pellets or amount of powder . Also use buffer in this one .
I have data for the others in my loading room , if I remember I'll get it tomorrow or some time soon .
But again I reiterate this stuff worked in my guns , but as to whether it works or is safe in someone elses shotgun that's yet to be seen . I dare say none of my shotgun loads are what I'd call hot other then possibly my 28 gauge and 410 loads .
I will also say this and some folks may or may not agree . But I use the same powder charge in the 10 gauge with buckshot , birdshot or slugs . Same can be said for the 12 , 16 and 20 . Now with that being said the shot or slug weight are pretty much the same in each gauge . For the 10 I stay around 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 with the 12 I stay around 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 , with the 16 I try to stay around 1 to 1 1/8 and with the 20 I try to stay at 7/8 to 1 ounce .
