stef75 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 As I understand personal load data cant be posted, but can anyone suggest a good resource. Is it possible to load down to single digit quantities, aka under 10 grains of any powder? I ask this only being a cheap SOB trying to save powder.

Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Load recipes can be posted, you can search and find a great number of posts with this question, but I doubt you'll find anything in the single digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you need more powder to make required operating pressure GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef75 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Thanks fellas, Im in Australia so cant take advantage of those offers. Powder is a little expensive here, well not too bad, but its going up in price with this covid stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 About the lowest I know of in standard powders (Clays - whatever it is designated down there) is 12.5 grains in a 12 gauge with 7/8 oz shot with a Winchester/Claybuster grey wad. In colder weather you may be 13 grains. It really is not worth the few pennies to try to shoot with anything lighter. As to 20 gauge, go with 3/4 or 7/8 oz lead the WAA20 or equivalent wad with Winchester AA or Remington hulls and stry 10 or 11 grains of Universal. As you may know, 20 gauge works better with a little slower powder. The Original Lumpy may help out with some great Unique loads, but they generally need a little more powder.
