What

I picked up 8LB jug of Red Dot and have never used it before. I know how to find what loads it will do but I wondered what your favorite load was. I use primarily AA hulls. Jackie B.

 

[Neil Winston]

Sixteen or seventeen grains with factory components. The lighter ones with Federal 209A primers, the heavier with Winchester primers. That's for 1 1/8 oz. With the Federal primers they go off in any weather and we are getting -18 F by the end of the week.

17.5 grains of red dot,Aa or a clone AA wad,Winchester or cheddite primer has been a stand by load for as long as I can remember.Shot a lot of it in warm and cold weather with no problems.

 

[Ahab]

18.3 grains of Red Dot, Spolar Gold wad, Winchester or Cheddite primer and 1 1/8 oz shot ... werks fer me!

 

[Shooting Coach]

18 gr with 1 oz, 20 gr with 7/8 oz Bunker loads.

Am experimenting with 18 gr and 3/4 oz, using tighter chokes for sporting clays.

 

[Barry C. Roach]

What Neil says. I don't like 18g's of RD for light loads. Too sharp.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I will pick a couple and try them out but first I have to check what wads I have. LOL I have a couple of them at least, like waa12 and several Claybuster wads. I think I will try 17gr and 18.5 gr. Again thanks for your responses. Jackie B.
