I'm looking for 12 and 20 gauge shotgun loads using Winchester AA hulls. Prefer slug, round ball and buckshot loads but need regular shot loads also. My strongest load interest is in round ball loads.


I have some CCI 209 primers, and Fiochi 209 primers, I forget the wads right now will have to look later.

Any help much appreciated.

What oz payload are you wanting to use?

I was wondering why he didn’t just text you directly.

I was seeing if anyone else also had some loads to share, LOL.

I'm thinking of trying some .678-.680 ball loads seems to be the ones that give the best accuracy from what I'm reading. Also going to try using some doughnut wads for the bigger .700 lead balls I have on hand.

I'm working on a Lee double slug also.

That sounds like a waste of time.

The ones I sent with you are .69 caliber I believe. (Been a long day)
With the brush wads in that same bag,they are accurate. Should be spot on in that short 12.......

LOL, have you seen double ball loads?

Didn't think about that if you cast them with a Lee mold they most definitely are .690.

I’ll start out with my own understanding expressed plainly and bluntly.......powder charge is dictated by three things....weight,shell,and crimp style. Weight of payload is the biggest contribution of powder charge while crimp style will dictate whether or not you make a bomb. You can stuff almost any charge in high brass 2 3/4 shells that you can in 3 1/2.......the only limiting factor is if you want to run any kind of buffer/wad column. If comfort is not a factor......don’t worry about the buffering lol
If this data has a load charge under a certain payload of shot then that same powder charge will work under a slug of the same weight.
This is the book these Next few pictures
are from.
