Default Question

Does anyone have a 20ga. recipe using Extra-lite. I know it's mainly used for 12ga. I was just wondering since I have plenty of Extra-Lite.
Thanks in advance!!

Angel..

Is that Winchester WAA Lite?

Never mind, I see it's an Alliant powder. Only data I find is for 12g. Doesn't mean there's none out there. Maybe work a load up and send it for testing?

Maybe use the chart, find your components and drop the lowest charge 1.5-2 grains and send it for testing. Just a suggestion.

Extra lite is just not suitable for 20ga. I've looked Angel. I'd love to have a recipe using it in the 20 because I've got mucho pounds of Nitro 100 NF which is the same as Extra Lite. I'll just burn it up in my 12ga guns.

Mike, WAA Lite and Extra Lite are different powders. Sadly, lm on my last pound of WAA LITE, I use it to make 7/8 &3/4 oz 12 ga low pressure loads. Yea, it's been discontinued.
