I picked up 1/2 bag of WAA12R wads at a garage sale for a $1 today. After looking through my Lyman editions 2,3,4 I am having a hard time finding a use for them for a simple target load. The manual shows the WAA12R, and describes it as a wad for 1-1/8oz loads, which is what I use for target loads. Looking through the manuals there is very limited data on there use, with Green Dot, CCI209, or W209 primers, and the Winchester 2-3/4" compression formed (old style} 12 GA hulls. Most loads using them are heavy field loads 1-1/4oz? Why would the book say one thing and then use them for another?
Has anyone tried the WAA12R for say a target load, in place of the WAA12 (white wad) which is also designed as a 1-1/8oz wad? If I kept the powder charge low, say 18gr of Green Dot, is there much chance of a problem?
Has anyone managed to find any web page listing load data, for Winchester components, but not thier powder? :roll:
Thanks, Bill
