Since powder has been non existent a friend of mine and I purchased some jugs of Longshot to reload for Sporting Clays.

I use it successfully with published data in my 16ga. hunting loads with 1oz. of Bismouth.

I'm wondering if anyone used it in 12ga. 1oz loads?

I contacted Hodgdon and was told they are working on load data for 12ga./1oz.

If you get chance to try some, take it. A very good cartridge, in a hull that stands out as far superior for reloading, compared to the "use once & chuck away" Cheddites! Only supplied, I believe in 12 & 20g, with 6 & 8 star crimps. As it is now very difficult to get Remington and Winchester cases here in the UK, I thought I,d try Victory, and was...
