Powder for reloading 28 ga Repro.

[6pt-Sika]

I used nothing but Winchester 540 for years shooting 28 gauge skeet . This stuff was great , then at some point they saw fit to quit selling it anylonger . It’s my understanding HS-6 is the same thing , but don’t take my word for it check into it before using . Well read this it says it is the same thing ! https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/hodgdon/hodgdon-hs-6 Quoted from the above link , HS-6 is truly an outstanding spherical propellant and identical to Winchester's discontinued 540

Thanks guys. I will take this list to "Guns Unlimited" in Omaha next time I go (Next week, God willing and the snow isn't too deep) I will buy what they offer.
Life without a 28 is just unthinkable.

+1 for Unique. Been using it for 28 ga. reloads, including a sweet 5/8 oz. dove load, for 30 years. I use Longshot with the newer HS hulls though.

How many grains of Unique do you guys drop for 20 gauge loads. In thinking about 15.5

[Bill Murphy]

Dave, I follow the published Alliant loads, deviating very little.

[Dave Elliott]

Check the Alliant website. They have published loads using Pro Reach. 17 grains,cb-5034 wad and a Cheddite primer in a Winchester HS hull. 1300 fps @8640 PSI. I emailed Alliant and they said the load could also be used in the older compression hulls by changing the wad to the original style for straight hulls. They also list loads for all the other hulls. I've had very good luck with this load, crimps good and doesn't seem to burn out the hulls as quick as 20/28 does.

Between Murphy and I we have been using Unique for a loooooong time. It works great in both 28 and 20ga.

I use Longshot exclusively in my 28ga reloading and have had no issues with it.

[Sam Ogle]

My supplier had longshot. I bought a pound, and am now waiting on a MEC bushing.
Thanks so much everyone!

Daryl is right in mentioning that Unique is proper for both 20 and 28. Green Dot is a little fast for 28 gauge. I would not recommend it, even though there may be listed loads for it.
