Dirt Slider Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 I’m looking for a good Cowboy load for a 20 gauge. I have a Mec Sizemaster. What powder and grains for 7/8 shot?

Dirt Slider Posted March 27, 2024 Author Posted March 27, 2024 Thanks so much, Yusta B! Just what I was looking for. Surgeon….. Black is always good. But this is for Dusty Lady!
High Spade Mikey Wilson Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 Here are my 20 ga. loads. I prefer the WSF powder for normal use. The 3/4 oz using Unique were lighter loads for my wife. 20 Gauge - Cowboy Grains MEC Oz Shot Powder Powder Bushing Wad Hull 3/4 Unique 13.7 #20 CB1075-20 Rem 7/8 Unique 15.1 #22 CB1078-20 Rem 7/8 WSF 16.6 #16 CB1078-20 Rem
Skiddsteer1 Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 I will concur that 15.1 of Unique under 7/8, and Remington RXP 20 wads worked for me in my SKB 20. But now I have an SKB 12 done by Doc Noper and I LOVE it.
Bearfoot Tracker Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 I am reloading Remington STS Hulls with 10.0 grains of Alliant Green Dot behind a Claybuster CB-1075-20 wad & 3/4 oz. of #8 shot. I load these for my wife's Ladies & Youth Stoeger 20 ga. SXS and it produces little kick .... similar to a 12 ga. Win. AA low recoil round. She has not had any problems with knocking down the targets (when she aims straight) with this load. Unfortunately it is getting very hard, if not impossible, to find the Alliant Green Dot powder.
Michigan Slim Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 The very first load listed by Mr. Wilson is my daughter's preferred loading. Does a fine job.
Dirt Slider Posted March 28, 2024 Author Posted March 28, 2024 Thank you everyone. That’s the information I was looking for.
