Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Lady shooter friend has run out of Clay Dot and needs another light load. My computer crashed a couple of months ago and i lost all my light load data. It looks like Clays, Clay Dot and Red Dot powder is not available right now. I know there is data for Winchester Xtra Lite and 700X. Can anyone share their load data that is close to Winchester LNLR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 What gauge are you asking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Luck Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 If you can find Alliant Promo powder it is very similar to red dot (they tell you to use red dot data) Winchester AA hull 12-13gr of Promo Claybuster CB0178-12 grey wad 7/8oz shot primer of choice My wife has been shooting these with no issues. Seem to be lighter recoil than factory LNLR rounds. Knockdowns are no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Surgeon Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 My load is 14-15 grains of Titewad, 3/4 oz of shot with claybuster wad, and cheddite primers in a gun club hull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 i learned an interesting thing of chedite primers - there are two available here of the three they mfgr , the boxes look the same but one is their 1000 primer that is the lighter of the two [for 20ga and 28ga ] the other r is their 2000 version that is for 12ga and 16ga i supose you could use either in our light loads , i use the 10-12 grains in 12ga and load 3/4oz shot with red dot or clays - but i think the others should be about the same as burn rates are very close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 STS or Gun Club Hull CB0175-12 wad 13 grains of 700X 3/4 ounce shot Winchester 209 Primer Will work on every shotgun KD as long as you do your part. Less felt recoil than AA LNLR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Rich Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I use Red Dot, Imr red, 700X, Alliant X-lite. All around 12.9 to 13.2 grains with 3/4 oz shot. All seem to be very close to 980's. kR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Maverick Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Check with Scarlett and see what her Cleanshot load is. She also has the powder available. TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) I shoot smokeless powder instead of BP in the Spring due to my seasonal allergies. Today I shot a match using 7/8 oz shot, CB-0178-12 wads, 15.1 grains of Extra-Lite in Remington hulls with Cheddite 209 primers. This is also a load I use for trap. It is comfortable for me. Others report loading Extra-Lite down to 13 grains. For comparison I brought a few shells I loaded with the same components and 14 grains of Perfect Pattern. These had sharp felt recoil I found unpleasant. BB, your lady friend would probably dislike Perfect Pattern even though there is lots of data for 7/8 oz loads. Extra-Lite is a better option (IF she can find some). Edited April 21 by Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall John Posted Saturday at 03:35 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:35 AM (edited) I’m shooting titewad in AA HS hulls, 209 Cheddites, claybuster wads. For 7/8 oz loads, I’ve experimented with loads between 13 up to 15.3 grns with no appreciable difference in patterns at 30’.
