Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Yeah, they can be tough to find, when I do find them it's either Cabelas or Walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Cabela's has the Winchester AAs low recoil ( 980 fps) on sale for just under $80 a case. There is a Winchester rebate still in effect until 1 September, which will lower the price by $2.00 a box. According to the Cabela's web site, free 2 day shipping is included.

Stump Water Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Federal Estate Target Loads. Yes, "ribbed" hull. Yes aluminum base. Fall out of my SxS 99% of the time (more than most reloads I've seen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlesnake Slim Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'm starting to find more 1oz loads at WalMart, Sportsman's, and the various other places. Gun Clubs and Estate. Not a bad alternative and usually the same price as 1 1/8oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCandless Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I like the Remington STS Light Target Loads, a little bit heavier than the Win AA Low Noise/Low Recoil, which I use also, but do the job nicely even with a lighter SKB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Seamus Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hey Rye, Fin usually has them in stock or will get them for you. Had them in Canton on Friday. $80/case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I like the Remington STS shells. I was using the Winchester AA shells but I found after case gauging them, I was getting about a 20% failure rate. They work fine for Wild Bunch in a pump but I only shoot a few Wild Bunch matches a year. The STS shells have about a 3-4% case gauge failure rate.

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 A friend gave me some Orvis English Light Load shells his father had when he passed. I thought "sure, why not?" Turns out English Light is the equivalent of GOOSE load. Im glad they are gone. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 34 years of playing this game, and nearly as much skeet shooting over an additional 11 years, I've never owned or bothered with case gauging any shotshell, either factory or reload... and in all that time I've had exactly ONE shotshell fail to fire... one of my BP reloads. And thru about 7 or 8 different shotguns, from Stoeger's to TTNs, to Winchester's and Remingtons. I will admit I haven't shot anything thru that Turkish copy of the Remington 870 I won a couple of years ago... but I suspect that if it's chamber & headspace is near SAAMI specs... it'll fire anything I put thru it. I will admit to a slight preference to the long gone "Blue Magic" shotshells and hulls... but then I jealously guard my stash of those... I doubt you'll ever see me using them at a cowboy match...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 The wife and I were big AA Featherlite fans for our 97s. Since I started shooting SKBs, I have had occasional problems with factory AAs not wanting to shuck out of my doubles. I started using a chamber checker, even on new AAs. To my surprise, and as previously mentioned, more than a few wouldn't drop into the chamber checker. We reload for monthly matches, but we now only use new Remington STS shells for big matches. I also will not use reloaded AAs in any of my doubles; STSs hulls have consistently held their shape, even after multiple reloadings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantry Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Skip the Federal 12g ammo you find at Wal Mart, the soft primers may cause the shotgun to be hard to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma Dee Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I had heard a few things about Federal factory Top Gun loads, so I picked up a case of Federal Top Gun Low Recoil-Subsonic, 12 gauge, 900 fps,. They are about an 1/8" shorter than my Remington STS reloads. Slightly ribbed, and has the larger metal base as compared to the Remington STS. I shot one box and if in bad need, they might work for a match or two. Felt recoil was abit harsh, as compared to my current reloads. I will stick with my reloads.
