I recently bought a supply of Clay Buster 12 ga 3/4 oz wads. Loaded into a Rem Gun Club hull over 15.5 gr of Promo and a Nobel 209, I shoot the same scores at skeet as with 7/8 oz or 1 oz loads. Recently, I have been shooting some tight choke guns, NID 4E trap configuration for example, at skeet. It is amazing to see how the 'ole NID will smoke targets half way across the field with those "light" loads. 7 shells to 6 compared to 7/8 oz and 4 to 3 for 1 oz. Well worth doing, IMO!!!

I also have bought these wads, and the only recipes I found was from Claybusters site. I picked one using 17.0 grs. Red Dot powder and a Remington 209 primer, at 1300 fps and 6300 psi. Very nice shooting load, the powder is dirty but it busts targets nicely.

Haven't tried the 12ga 3/4's yet, but the Claybuster 20ga 3/4's are excellent. For "recreational" skeet, I can't tell the difference--other than in reduced recoil. Really mild through my 5 3/4# 20ga Sauer grouse gun. R barrel on the Sauer is cylinder, and I still get very good, solid breaks. I do load 8 1/2's when I drop down to 3/4, rather than the reclaimed mixture of 7 1/2 and 8 that I often use in 7/8 oz 12ga reloads.
