I am looking for loading data for a 12ga 3/4oz load using Clays powder. The data will be on page 32 of the August 1997 American Rifleman. I have the later information from Feb. 2000. The update is nice but I would like to use Clays powder. Please, let me know if you can help.

The question has been answered by a gentelman that has the magazine back to 1945...

Ron, you may also want to look into reloading data with Claybuster's new 3/4 oz 12ga wad. I have yet to try it, but a lot of guys are raving about their new light loads.

Thanks Larry,
I found a thread on Shotgun World that covered the new wad quite well. It shows promise.

I've shot a couple thousand of the CB0175-12 wads using Win AA hulls, Nobel Sport primers, Promo powder and 3/4oz #8 shot. I am very impressed with the results. Minimal recoil, 500 shells per 25# bag of shot, break targets with authority. The wads make reloading fun again since I'm saving money. I have my reloading costs down to about $3.25 per box. It's like shooting back in the "good ol' days".

With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.
