I've been reloading 12ga for trap shooting for about a year. It can be really hard to save money over super saver Winchester and Federal cheapo shells. I have been working up...well, really working 'down' an economical, well shooting load. I started with the basic 1 1/8oz target load. Once I had that in the bag I moved to 1oz loads. Once I verified that would cycle in my CZ 912 I dropped to a 7/8oz load. Big difference in recoil. Very soft shooting and my scores stayed the same. I picked up a bag of clay buster 3/4oz 12ga Wads and we'll see if I can put together something accurate and reliable.
Just for information purposes, I'm using el cheap-o federal and Winchester hulls, and AA when I can find them. I'm staying in the 'medium warm' range using Red Dot powder. I use Clay Buster Wads and Fiocchi 209 style primers.
Once I have a few pet loads dialed in I will post my load data.
