ANyone got recipies for 12ga 2 3/4 buckshot loads ie 00 9 and 12 pellet loads
all my manuals only list bird shot.
Any online sources for buckshot load info?
 
You could also use equivalent weight birdshot data as a starting point. Nine 00 buckshot weigh just under 1-1/8 oz and 12 of them just under 1-1/2 oz.
 
What powder are you using I have lots of data in the Lyman shotshell book........Harold Win compression formed plastic fold crimp "AA" 38gr-Blue Dot/win 209/WAA12R wad/10 pellets 00 buckshot.........1374fps REM UNIBODY hull fold crimp.......SR7625-27gr/win209/remRP12 wad/10 pellets 00 buck/1310fps Fed hull/36gr-blue dot/WAA12R wad/12 pellets 00 buckshot/1261 fps

My buckshot data came from the instructions to my load all 2 and works great...

Win AA 2 3/4 32.5gr (bushing 141) HS6 under 9 cast .312 55gr pellets (between 0 and 1 buckshot). I use the same load for buckshot and 1oz Lee Key Slugs. The load is under the 36gr max for the slugs but performs well out to 100 yards
