3/4 OZ 12 ga data loads
« on: January 23, 2013, 06:43:05 AM »
Does any body have the reloading data for the new claybuster 3/4 oz 12 ga loads using
CB0175-12S wads? The thing I would like about 12 ga 3/4 oz loads is the cost of 28 ga hulls cost 25 cents and I can pull up 12 hulls are free at my gun range.Thank for any help, Twyman

Interesting you came up with the same conclusion that I arrived at several months ago when 3/4 ounce wads became avail in both 12 and 20 ga.  I have been a .410 shooter for 30 years.  Never could find deals on hulls or even enough of them.  I started at 3/4 and have now moved Down to 5/8 oz in both 12 and 20. I drop one Cheerio iin wad before I drop the shot to get good crimp.


I am in the process of selling off all my .410's except one that is extremely light at 3 1/4 pounds.  I shoot informal clay birds just about every day at my club and the 5/8 really hammers them due to excellent patterns.  I even use that load in a HD 12 with cylinder bore.  It has been my experience that green dot will tighten up the pattern a little for an open choke. My best loads have obviously been with red dot. Alliant
even has a suggested load for 3/4 oz in 20 using red dot which generally is not recommended for 20.  Have fun............less is sometimes more.

That Claybuster data left off Green Dot which I got specifically for light loads.  Anyone have any Green Dot data>

Done a lot of 3/4's in 12 and 20 over the last year.
Green Dot is for 20's
Red Dot is for 12's.
Red Dot burns dirty in my 12; they say the pressure to too low to burn completely.
Lot of talk on Shotgun World about 3/4 oz loads; apparently Extralite burns the cleanest for 12 ga 3/4 oz loads, but I haven't tried it.


Also, a copy of the load sheet necchi linked is in each bag of wads from CB.

Thats why I was told to use Green Dot for reduced loads.
