RiggerJJ Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I have been using Universal Clays for my 1200fps 3gun load, but am quickly running out and can't find any right now, so... Just ordered some WSH, anyone have any experience with it in a 1 1/8 oz 1200fps load? Seems it is all I can find right now so it better work... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can load 1-1/8 oz from 1090-1255 fps in 2 3/4" REMINGTON STS, NITRO 27, OR GUN CLUB PLASTIC SHELLS or 2 3/4" WINCHESTER COMPRESSION - FORMED AA & HS TYPE PLASTIC SHELLS I used it for several years for all my 12GA clays ammo until I switched to Clays... STS hulls, NobelSport 209 primers, Titegroup, Downrange wads, and new or reclaimed ALR shot. Published Hodgdon data available... PS - Only reason I switched to Clays was to conserve my Titegroup stores for pistol... PPS - There's also a TON of load data for WSH under 1-1/8 oz lead shot available at the Hodgdon data center...

RiggerJJ Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wudda got Clays if I knew it was available. Sending a text to ya Hoser. Yea, I got all the data from Hodgdon and some other data books. I saw I could get 16 lbs of WSH online so I ordered it. Seemed the right thing to do at the time after looking at all the data. Seemed to be a pretty good load for my 3gun shootin loads. Got jug of Clays, use it for skeet loads...saving my Tight group for 45cal. Just was wondering if anyone used WSH for a 1 1/8 oz 1200 fps load... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cautery Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ahhh... I see. Well, I've never used WSH, but looking at the data, it looks like there's plenty of flexibility there.Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 JJ, use the Clays for .45 ACP too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 JJ, use the Clays for .45 ACP too! If I do that then I won't have any skeet powder... I just wish this BS induced shortage would end... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
practical_man Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Titewad will get you there. Slightly less powder than clays. I use it for trap, skeet, and 5 stand. Cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goat68 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I find that the Winchester super handicap doesn't meter well in my adustable thrower. If I try to cycle the handle on the press too quickly I end up with a light load that doesnt eject the hull when shot. Other that that it's a great powder.

warpspeed Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I load on a SL900 and have found the Winchester Supr Handicap powder to meter extremely well. +/- 0.1 gr. Hodgdon has lots of good data for loads for this powder with all sorts of hull/wad combinations. I will say that you should try a wad designed for 1 oz instead of one for 1-1/8. For example, the TGT12 wad & the Fig8 wad are interchangeable for each other and have the same height shot cup so the shot fits just fine. I found that I get better crimps with the TGT12 wad than the Fig8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I thought the fig8 was a 1 1/8 oz wad? Been using WAA12 for years for 1 1/8oz... I get near factory crimps with em. My M2 likes em, even use em in my Firebird 1919 with great results. jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
