Hello All!
looking to get into shotshell reloading for 12 gauge here in the next few months, and was wondering what people’s favorite standard velocity trap load recipes were
So far, I’m planning on using Win AA hulls, as that’s what I have on hand. (2 3/4”)
Lead shot most likely, seems that a 7 1/2 or 8 shot is most common, though I’m open to advice. If possible would like to stick around 1oz shot just for economy, tho if you think 1 1/8 is necessary, please tell me!
Powder recommendations are welcomed-a powder that can load both 12 gauge and 9mm would be a fantastic bonus for bulk powder buying, but is not a must.
Wads-I have very little experience with wads, so any advice here welcomed as well!
thanks all!
*disclaimer, I have a shotshell reloading manual on its way and will definitely read it, though it’s back ordered at the moment. Also, I know components are scarce, just figuring out what kind of load I want to go with and will search for components over the next few months.
