I have done a bunch of research on the web but I can't find what I am looking for. I have unfired Activ 20 gauge shells, AA20F1 wads, Winchester 209 primers.

What I need is load data for 7/8, 1.0, 1 1/8 ounce lead loads and for a .600 round ball which is 325 gr or .65 ounces.

I have and checked the Lyman Shotshell Manual # 5 and found nothing.

Can anyone help me?
 
You might try posting this question on shotgun world.My hodgdon 26 edition manual has data for active 2 3/4" 12 ga but nothing for the 20ga.

Start with 10 percent reduction in powder and work my way up to a good load.

Shotgun reloading is different from metallic reloading. The lower pressures involved do not leave signs of overpressure like you find in rifle or pistol. There is no need to find a given charge weight that produces a node for best accuracy. You don't reduce your load and work up to a maximum. Reload to the published load to start with and never exceed it.
