edited February 2009 in Perry Shooter Competition Shooting and Reloading Forum
Finally got a reloader after all my talking about it, just a MSC 600 JR 12ga, but good enough for me to start with....just loading for clays and skeet right now

What I am looking for is for something close to factory Win AA (pretty silver ones) 2 3/4" 1350 FPS 1 oz and either 7 1/2 or 8 shot.

I have about 500 of the AA hulls once fired, and the guy I bought the reloader from gave me about 350 WAA12SL pink wads. I'm completely open on suggestions on primers and powder ( I was thinking Red Dot, but couldn't find anything that fast).

I was leaning toward either WIN 209 and 18.5 grains of e3 - 1300/10,500psi or Rem 209P w/ Titegroup 18.6gr for 1290-10,400 or 20.0gr for 1345-11,500.

I haven't done much on the pricing end just looking for a good place to start and I was guessing at least 1 of ya'll had a suggestion or 3.

by the way when I get comfortable enough.........I WILL PERFECT THE TRACER ROUND![}:)][:D][}:)][:D]

thanks in advance gents!

    If loading for trap or skeet try to stay under 1200FPS.

    Standard 1-1/8 oz:
    17.5 grs. 700X or Clays - Winchester 209
    (16.5 grs is a very nice load, plenty of speed w/nice recoil)

    I find Red Dot to be a little dirty, but a good powder.
    The 600 Jr. should do about 4 boxes/hr. I've used mine on all gages since the 1960's, and still running.

    There is really nothing wrong with loads in the 1080 to 1120 FPS
    range. They are easy on the wallet and easy on the shoulder. They are also a great way to learn all about "lead". (you know, gettin' in front of them) Slowing down the shot is also the easiest and least expensive way to tighten up a shot pattern. Good Hunting!

    WOW, I finally made a short list and went to Cabella's to pick up primers and powder....... No powder to be had, not just the 3 or 4 I was looking for.......... BUT NONE
    The guy behind the counter was great, even took me back to show me his empty shelves. All he had was 5 cans of STEEL powder, I'd been reading on here how tough it was to find but dang! This was Dallas-Fort Worth Cabellas. Back to the guy behind the counter, he was refreshing in an area that for the most part customer service sux. Had my 7 year old daughter with me, and he gave her a handful of tokens to go upstairs and shoot in the arcade since daddy couldn't get what he wanted.
    Ended up driving out to Alpine the range where I usually shoot and they had some Titegroup, so I guess I am going to try the 18.6 load.

    If anyone in the DFW area knows where to find the Aliant e3 powder please drop me a line, I found one with that powder I realy want to try.
