20 gauge 3/4 ounce reload works great!
I just tried out my first reloads today of the 3/4 ounce recipe I got from Winchester's reloading data page. I'm using 3/4 ounce #9 shot, a Winchester AA HS hull, WAA20 wad, Remington 209 Premier primer and 12.8 grams of Intertantional Clays (reloaded in a MEC 600 Jr. single-stage press). The recoil was distinctly less than the factory AA 7/8 loads I bought for hulls, and I was hitting every bit as well as I did with the factory loads (I'm an average-OK shooter, breaking about 21/25 on most rounds with my Stevens 512 Goldwing 20 gauge). I shot 3 boxes up this morning (2 rounds skeet and 1 round wobble-skeet) and every round seemed consistent. I'm very pleased; thanks Winchester.....
