3 inch 20 ga load

[BIG Dog454]

Anyone have a recommendation of a load for 20 ga 3 inch 1 1/8 or 1 1/4 oz of shot using Unique, blue dot. or herco, or AA#9  powders?  I really don't want to go out and buy another can of powder just to load a dozen 3 in shells.

Get yourself a Layman Shotshell Reloading Manual they have all of the info you`ll need.

I loaded some 3" federal steel hulls. It had a nice 1 1/4 lead load with bluedot and either a sp20 or a waa20 (can't remember which). I checked out the rem premier hull but it only had 1 1/8 loads. The speed was around 1180fps. I would decide on the hull and then see what you want to get out of it. LOOK here to do your research: http://www.hodgdon.com/ You can go to the data and search the type of load you want with the type of hull you have.
