After shooting the crimp out of my Winchester AA and Remington STS hulls, (trap and SASS) I want to try cutting the crimp off and use them as short shotgun shells, or "minis."
The problem is finding reliable load data for Trap Shooting in an over/under or for SASS Cowboy Action in a side-by-side, if that's even a thing. Number 7-1/2 or 8 shot, 7/8 or 1 ounce, 1200 fps.
To cut the hulls down, the Ballistic Products Spin-N-Trim seems to work well.

I have a roll crimp tool and a drill press already.
Paper overshot cards can be punched out with a 3/4" hole punch...

...or 3/4" Bingo Markers can be employed

This gentleman has a lot to say on the subject, but he's mostly into buckshot loads, not trap shooting or SASS.

I have Red Dot, Clays, Unique, Titegroup and other powders.
This may be silly, but here's the question:
What wad, or gas seal; and what powder loads work for Mini Trap shells? Or where does such info reside?
I await your collective wisdom.
