Hello, 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. Thanks
With no data available from Hodgdon , I would trade it off for powder with 12ga. manufacturers data. If you live near Niagara Falls NY , I would trade some Green dot. Good luck, Mike
With Hodgdon slowest 1 1/4 loads at 1330 -- and their slowest 1 1/8 at 1440 -- will hate to see what they would come up with at one ounce? I agree with Mike - there is a lot better powders for one ounce loads.
wish there was 1oz powder in my area. A friend did some testing. See below. Going to chrono next week. good,smooth load,if I missed it was not the shell . Good crimps. Winchester HS CB-11OO-12 1 oz #8 23.5 gr Longshot Remington Gun Club CB-8100-12 (TG 12) 1oz #8 23.5 gr Longshot I used a #24 mec bushing
Chrono will be great -- guaranteed to be faster than hell --slowest 1 1/8 load I have loaded is 1,400 fps --Pressure is what you have to be concerned with -- Most are right around 11,000 PSI --with a load behind it for resistant's -- Most of your sporting clays targets are well within 40 yards -- why do you want to be beat up with that kind of recoil? I would wait for Hodgdon to do a proper load --
Thats the only powder available in our area. It's either that or AR-15 powder, LOL. I'm waiting for Hodgdon myself, but a friend says not bad to shoot even for skeet in a 725. I shoot 21.6 grains in my 16 ga. around 1250 fps.
