Never used this powder before, but it's all I could find, and I'm using a Lee Load All. 1 1/8 oz of shot, STS hull, and Winchester primer, WAA12 claybuster wad. The load data recommends 17.4 grains for an 1150 velocity trap load. The bushing I have in it (134) is throwing about 17.5-17.7 grains on the scale. I was just wondering if that was about right from those with more experience loading this powder.

If your load data should also show the 18 gr load giving 1175 f/s w/ 10660 psi. The online data shows that load.
So 17.5 - 17.7 gr should be ok.

Yes, it does show that, but doesn't have any higher loads listed, so I figured as long as I didn't go over 18 gr I'm safe.

Good Handicap load!

I tried my Ramshot loads today at the range and they worked great.

Yeah it's worked great for me. I may keep using it even when Clays is available again.

How messy is Competition to load? Is there much leakage around charge bar? I use to load AA plus on my Lee and I seemed to always have a bit of of powder mess after loading a few boxes. With Competition and AA Plus supposed to be about the same, I was wondering what you have found. I did really like the powder though.
