Come On Christmas Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 I know some of you make your own smokeless shotgun shells. When you run up to Walmart or your sporting goods store to buy smokeless shot shellz which ones do you buy? Christmas
Eyesa Horg Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 AA LNLR (low noise, low recoil). Although I have always made my own. Sorry! Misread! So used to CAS related questions. As stated below, you want sumpin a bit hotter!
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 I’ve been reloading my own for eons, so I don’t know. Buy whatever is on sale in the 1100 fps range, 1 1/8 oz, #7-9 shot,
Chantry Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 For sporting clays I like 1 oz of #7 1/2 in the 1200-1250 fps range
J-BAR #18287 Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 In the 1990s, I was privileged to be the family veterinarian for one of the top lady sporting clays competitors in the country. About half her garage space was taken up with cases of factory ammo. The practice time she put in was incredible. I could not reload enough ammo to be a champion in sporting clays. I hope you achieve your goals.
Wild Eagle Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 For SASS/CAS the Winchester LNLR is my choice. Although I reload and prefer the Remington STS hulls, the LNLR are easier on the shoulder and quicker to get back on target. For busting clays, I would usually stock up on dove loads that were on sale around the start of dove season. They're usually cheapest and work OK for clays. However, I only competed with my friends to see who would buy the beer on the way home.
watab kid Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 im mostly just shooting the remington gun clubs i bought on sale back around 2018 , mostly 1oz but some 11/8oz @ 23/4 dram , i seldome need a 3dram or more shot even though i have both

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 Having never shot a round of Sporting Clays , al those ranges , have closed down around here , I was given to understand , some shots were pretty long and hard to hit , (smaller targets) I would get heavy dove or "promo" loads to shoot that game looks like a lot of fun , even tho , I would miss a bunch of the targets CB

Chantry Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 For sporting clays anything less, for a 12 gauge, than 1 oz or 1 1/8 oz @ 1150 fps is going to make things a lot harder. The leads with slower loads becomes much larger and harder to judge.
JD Lud Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 Is it really sporting? I mean those poor clays are defenseless just minding their own business trying to fly off into the sunset.
Dirty Dog Doug Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 AA super sporting clays 1300 fps our cowboy range is hosted by Coyote Valley Sporting Clays so I shoot clays a few times month

Yes, you are just putting them out of their little old misery before they hit the hard ground and shatter into a million pieces. TM

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 I load about half of what I shoot and buy mostly promo target loads (Federal, Winchester and Gun Clubs) for the other half. Tomorrow I'll be shooting Remington Clay & Field loads because I need the hulls for black powder rounds for EOT. A lady shooter that shoots with me buys Nobel target loads in bulk in Phoenix and shoots them. When I get good enough for registered matches I'll buy better ammo.
Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 I still reload 1 1/8 for sporting..when I run out of powder I will probably buy the cheapest which is Winchester Super Target.
