Any trap shooters in the house that reload AA's

[CaliAngler]

Reloading shotshells for the first time looking for a decent load with what I've got started with as shown in the photo. Mec 600jr with about all the bushings i will need. Any help with load data, bushing number to use, wad combos etc and components greatly appreciated

Awesome thanks guys! keep em coming!!!!

Also discovered the 1000 wads of Super-Lite I have was made for Winchester super lite powder which has been discontinued. Lost a little money buying these new in box unfortunately unless someone knows of a better use for them....

Try this link for loads with those wads; https://www.alliantpowder.com/reload...eid=3&gauge=12

Than select WAA12SL for wads.

Win AA HS hulls
Win 209 primer
18 grains 700x
1oz hard shot - 7.5 or 8
DRXL-1 or CB1100-12 or WAA12SL wad

Approximately 9300 psi to 10100 psi (depending on Wad selection) at 1250 fps.

Great 16 and short yardage load and burns clean.

For a Mec, bushing 29 or 30 MAY get you the drop you need. However, always measure your powder drops and NEVER rely on the suggested bushing sizing. Bushing sizing is a suggestion based on their calculations and will vary.

Just looked at your photo. You are using Winchester AA CF hulls (older hulls) and are NOT the same as the newer HS hulls. CF hulls are a little longer. Unless you move to a longer wad or a more bulky powder, you may/will have stack height issues

[CaliAngler]

So more focused on these AA's: Are you saying these newer WAA12 hulls might give me some issues? I was assuming these were more highly desired.

The SL wads are not powder specific. Many 1oz loads using the SL (pink) wad.

If CCI 157;

I dunno about "blowup your gun", but they don't fit (smaller OD).

Buy a reloading manual or two. There are a number of Shotshell reloading books.

The Web is great but its good to have published tested load info. And the books have how-to info.

Any help with load data

Just picked one up at Bass pro but walked out without any 12ga winchester wads or lead shot.

ANYONE know where to get 25lb bags of lead shot in the modesto area? and wads? Willing to drive a short distance from the area to buy some
