Trap /Skeet loads

That is what I am trying to decide. I have #5PW which is 1oz. Previous to this PW machine I used a MEC with 1 1/8oz shot bushing and #33 powder bushing. I am loading reddot powder with WAA12CB wads in Win.AA hulls. To get close to what I am use to loading I would have to go to the #6 PW shot bushing,and a L or M powder bushing. If 1oz loads are good I could save money on the less ammount of shot in the shells, but don't want to sacrifice having fun hitting the targets

If you're talking practice, why not drop to 7/8... really put yourself to the test... if you're on the birds, they break just fine...

Slk. I shoot a 7/8 oz. Load with American Select 19.3 gram and love it. Mind you we shoot steel 7 or 8s and I like them more then factory steel loads at 1oz. That kick like a mule.

there is an adaptor for the PW so you can use the mec powder bushings..
I use the 5.5 shot bushing for 1 1/8 oz load its a little under weight but the crimp looks much better.

My 2 cents worth

I've used the PW 5.5 bushing for over 25 years with much success. Currently the 1 1/16 oz. is the heaviest shot charge I own. Loaded with 7.5 hard shot the reloads will break targets with authority even when shooting "wood pile" games at the 35 yd. line.

you can always bore your bushings to do whatever you feel necessary.

I'm loading Clays...which aparently is a lesser amount of powder than typical...I think. Anyway, I tried the 5.5, and my crimps were inverted. I've since gone to the #6, and they are looking fine....howwver I throwing 1 1/16oz
