I was wondering if anyone had the bpi manual or any others i have one manual but dont have data that i need plus the bpi and tom roosters manual are sold out.
I just received my new buck mold for 0 and i have a #4 mold.
I have imr blue,international red dot longshot unique for powders.
I have a bunch of 2.75 federal hulls and 20s1 wads. Thanks for any help guys!
BPI buckshot manual does not have any loads for Federal hulls.

Go to the Hodgdon site.
There is load data for Longshot and International and your hulls and wad. IMO you can use equivalent weight of buckshot as shot loads and you will be safe.
No way Red Dot will work. It is too fast for 20ga.

I'm willing to bet the Lyman manual has data with longshot. I'll have to look later.

I just looked through a bunch of my manuals. I did not see a load I could recommend with those powders. I was really surprised there is not any Longshot data. You would be well ahead to find some Bluedot powder, tons of data with that.
Thanks everyone for all the replies and advice this is the best site for loading i have been on. But a very addictive sport.
Lyman calls for hs7 and 800x with the 20s1 wad, might shoot a msg to ballistic products ask them about substituting federal shells with rio, cheddits or Fiocchi data. there is a bunch of data they put out that call for wads that are no longer available--vp wads
the reason I suggest this is somewhere in the past I got hundreds of rio shells and had problem getting data using available components and there are a couple loads I found that were the same as federal hulls
I ordered the advantage manual but i was thinking the same for the straight wall hulls, just making sure i get good data. I just ordered some stuff from bpi hoping ot comes in.
