[montana]

Be happy to:
using Winchester AA hulls, whatever primers I have happened to have at that moment and the gray/silver wads-- here is a link to see what they are:  http://www.midwayusa.com/midwayusa/applications/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?SaleItemID=862762

I'm using a # 19 powder bushing in a MEC 600 JR reloader and Red Dot powder.
Resize, prime, drop the powder and insert wad as usual.  Then push a pinto bean into the hull before dropping the shot (have used both 9 and 7 1/2--both seem to do fine.)  Usually an average bean is fine.  This is enough to make up the room for having less powder in the hull and gives a good crimp.  
Be careful to get the bean all the way in.  If it hangs up in the loading fingers of the MEC the bean can jam up the shot tube and the bean and shot will be up in the tube.  Usually a mess to get the bean out.
Both my brother and I have had rotator culf surgery (of course, right shoulder) and this receipe seems to have enough knockdown power without doing damage to our shoulders.  I've been told that a #26 bushing with Red Dot equals a standard Winchester light load so this gives you an idea where my load stands.
Hope this is what you are looking for--if not post again.
