Trap Loads

[TheeToyGuy]

Does anyone have good combination for trap reloads? Looking for something for 22+ yards?

I use the 1 oz load in Gun Club hulls charged with CLAYS powder and claybuster clones of REM TGT 12 wads. I just use the load data right off the Hodgdon website. It will treat you right all the way to the back line.

This^^^ and also always use a proven load from a manufacturer.

Thanks guys! I have been using what's on Hodgdon's website as well but I wondered if there was a cost effective way. I have been using 700X 1oz. Win200 Primers Claybuster Wads AA hulls and #7 1/2 shot which seems to be working good but just looking to save a little more so I can do it more.

Where is the best place around Indy to get supplies? I live in Fishers.

Indiana Gun Club. Close to you and good prices. Look online for what they sell/carry. Shot, powders, primers, wads, hulls.

If you are not shooting an auto, you could go 7/8.

I have reloaded 1000's of 12 ga rounds using any Remington hulls, clays, clay dot, or red dot powder, and claybuster 1 oz wads. I load to 1200 fps, but mostly shoot from the 16 yard line. At the present I am using a MEC 9000G.

I prefer shot smaller that 7.5. It is hard to get 9's but 8's and 8.5's do the trick. The smaller shot makes for a dense pattern

2 3/4 remington plastic shells (sts,nitro27,premier rxp,gun club)1oz.7.5 shot, win 209 primers, waa12sl wad, (17. 1,200 fps)-(18.4 1,250 fps)grains,claydot powder..approx psi 7,860-8,980....you can be about 5% on your powder charge and still get same ballastics. anymore then that and your wasting powder.indiana gun club an atterbury shooting complex is the best place to buy your components.

I'll second that. I shoot 7/8 oz of 7.5 shot with a Red Dot powder load that gives me 1300 ft/sec.

check out hodgdon web site for AA win loads. i only use wst powder, 7 1/2 shot and claybuster wads. works great for 26 yd line too, and sporting clays as well. i used to load 8's and 9's, but have decided after inspecting "lost" birds there was a small hole in a lot of them but didnt break it, so have gone totally 7 1/2's. now a miss is really a miss....daryll

From the 16 yard line, I shoot 7/8oz of #8 over Claybuster wads and PROMO powder loaded to 1250fps in Remington Gun Club hulls with Fiocchi primers. That's about as cheap as I can get things as far as I know.
