Folks,
I'm looking for a light load for the 12 guage.
Thanks in advance
Kevin

7/8 oz loads exist, but you need to narrow down the list of possible combinations. What hull do you have or want to use, and do you have a preference on what make of primer?

I am open to any componets. Although I have mostly AA hulls.
Thanks Kevin

From the Winchester reloading manual, page 9:
7/8 oz W209 Primer WW AA Case WAA12L Wad 22.0 WSR Powder
7/8 oz W209 Primer Rem STS or Nitro Case WAA12L Wad 21.0 WSR Powder

See:

You also might look at 24 Gram International loads since they are essentially 7/8 oz loads.
