loading steel shot
« on: September 02, 2004, 11:22:20 AM »
I loaded 1 1/8 oz steel shot loads several years ago, in fact Solo 1500 was the powder I used. Does anyone have experience with newer powders, perhaps longshot? I have been shooting more ducks and especially geese lately and am always looking for something I can afford. Heavyshot is wonderful, but at $2 a shell it is more than I want to do. Any input at all would be appreciated, Thanks, Shotgunner
