    A quick question for Cowboy Action Shooters

    For your shotgun part of CAS, do you shoot full power loads or attenuated?

    If you don't want 1984 you're going to need some 1776.

    I shoot blackpowder loads that I do myself. Most guys shoot lighter loads. The AA low recoil-low noise(featherlights) are very popular.

    I have to shoot very light loads due to a replaced shoulder. They still knock the targets down. I use 30 grains of BP or 13 grains of Clays with 3/4 oz. of shot.

    I shoot BP in magtech brass shells I load myself. I use about 60 grains of Goex FFg or some other BP/substitute behind 3/4 ounce of shot. I use 2 wads and a shot over card then seal with Bordon's wood glue.

    I shoot 7/8oz shot with 17 grains of clays. Medium load I would say. I get about 25% more loads out of a bag of shot compared to 1 1/8oz. Best advice I can give is shoot what you like.
