Old School Green Dot

[Gary Laudermilch]

I load the following 20- from the Alliant site:

Win 209 primer
13.8 gr. Green Dot
Claybuster 1075-20
3/4 oz hard shot

It burns clean, is in the mid pressure range, and patterns very well in several guns I have tested it with. Does a wonderful job on clays but I do not hunt with it.

Thank you all who replied.
Thank you Tad for the Green Dot source tip.
I ordered 8 lbs of Green Dot that should get me to the finish line (& beyond).
FYI my favorite Green Dot loads are (some from a '60's vintage Herters catalog):
12 Ga 1 1/4 oz 23.0 grns Green Dot Win 209 plastic shot cup (excellent upland load)
12 Ga 1 1/8 oz 18.5 grns Green Dot Win 209 plastic shot cup (good for skeet, spt clays, and an awesome handicap trap load. It is fast with even patterns.)
20 Ga 7/8 oz 14.5 grns Green Dot Win 209 plastic shot cup (target & upland)
28 Ga 3/4 oz 12.4 grns Green Dot Win 209 plastic shot cup. (target & excellent grouse/woodcock load with (shot cupless) spreader through an "open" .001" & .003" choked Parker.)
Thank you again.
Best Fishes,
