    Anyone here have a 12ga 3/4oz load they have had good results with? I do have one that I currently loading in AA hulls, but wanted to see if anyone else has worked one up.

    After burning through a bunch of components and a lot of trial and error, this is the load I settled on. It cycles in my semi-autos (with a lightened load kit) and is a dream in my O/U.

    The Recipe:

    Hull- Federal Gold Medal (the paper-base version, not the plastic stump)

    Primer- Fiocchi 616

    Powder- 17.2 grains of Alliant Clay Dot

    Wad- CB 1100-12 (the little grey one)

    Shot- 3/4 oz (that's 328 grains if you're weighing it) of Hard 8.5 or 9s

    The one in the bag of the pink winchester replacement claybuster wads worked for me, I think I used extra lite powder. Didn't work that well on the middle stations for skeet though. too short of a shot string im thinking.
