Looking for a New 20ga. Recipe

[Dean Romig]

I use one piece AA hulls with a Win 209 primer, Winchester Double A wads, 14 grains of 20/28 powder and 7/8 oz. of shot. I use this load in my newer steel barreled Trojan and VH but use the same load but with 13.3 grains of 20/28 in my older Damascus DH 20.

Couldn't find any loads using the SG20 wad listed in my 20 ga spreadsheets.
I use Claybuster 1078 and 1075--they are Win AA clones and a bag of 500 is ususally around $10.
I have used this load with Unique:
Ched 2 1/2"/ win or ched 209 primer/ Unique 16gr/CB1078/ 1186fps@ 7200 psi.

I have used this load in 2 3/4" cheddite, but may fit in a 2 1/2"--definitely will if dropped to 3/4 oz load:
Universal 17gr/ Win or ched 209 primer/CB 1078/ 1197 fps/ 7800 psi

Dean, do you know the psi/fps on this? I'd like to try it using 3/4 ounce of shot.
Thx Chris

Hey Chris, in Win AA With W209 primer and CB1075 wad-(chartruse):3/4 oz
14.5 gr 20/28 1200 fps @ 7200 psi
15.5 gr 20/28 1250 fps @ 7900 psi
So 13.3 gr 20/28 should be very mild, and I'm guessing around 1100 fps and in the 6000's psi. range
I usually load the 14.5 gr load for both my steel and damascus 20's. It is a nice load.
