I recently started making my own shot with an affordable shot maker I bought on e bay. so even though im making shot so much cheaper I still wanna make it go as far as possible. I load 1 oz now in win ,rem and federal hulls usually with 700x powder. I was on hodgdons web sight the other day and was seeing data for 3/4 oz 12 gauge loads with same powder(s) I usually use , so to save on my lead stash I thought I would give it a try. I only load shot shells for recreational shooting mostly clay pigeons, I also play around with and load for 2 410 shotguns I own I use them for clay pigeons as well so I figure if I can blow a clay pigeon out of the sky with a 1/2 oz 410 load then I should also be able to with a 3/4 oz 12 gauge load .i plan on taking a ride to a place near me that sells reloading supplies in the next week or so for some 209 primers and a couple bags of claybuster wads i thought maybe i would pick up a bag of 3/4 oz wads while i was there to try out . i just wanted some opinions on 3/4 oz 12 gauge loads
