Looking to load for trap and doubles out of a O/U. I have plenty of Winchester AA hulls, and 452AA powder. With this, I loaded 1 1/8 oz shot.
Anyone have a favourite load be it 7/8s or 1 oz load? What type of wads...

O.K. you guessed it ----- I have an old Lyman (third edition ) and an old Hodgdon load sheet of which none have those weights for trap. Yes I'm to cheep to go buy a new manuald but would rather have info from experienced shooters.

I have a 1989 Winchester Components Catalogue and the 2nd Edition Lyman Shotshell Handbook that list data for 1 oz loads - if you're interested.

I just fired off the last of my 452AA loads in 1 1/8. I never loaded for 7/8 or 1.
 
18.0 Promo or Red Dot, 1 oz. of 8's, Green Duster wad, in a AA case. A great load that is very effective anywhere on the trap field, 16 to 27 yds.
 
I like 16.8 gr. 700-X, Claybuster 1100-12 for 1oz. #8, Win. 209 primer and AA hulls. I also use the 7/8 oz. grey wad like dcan but only use 16.8, same as the 1oz.

Hi
Mine is 17.2 700x-Gray Winchester Wad-7/8 oz Lead-Winchester AA hull.

I know that's a good one. Mine is slightly less that 17 gr. of 700x, but with the same components. I have just finished about 200 rds, and am amazed how hard it hits targets out to about 24 yards. With the cost of components and the fairly cheap target loads out there, this load is the only one I reload.
A pleasure to shoot.

Three loads you might be interested in from a 1994 Winchester Reloading Components Catalog using AA hulls and 452AA.

#1
7/8 oz. Win. 209 Primers. 19.0 grains 452AA and Win WAA12SL wad 1210 fps and 7100 LUP.

#2
1 oz. same primer, same wad, but 21.5 grains 452 AA. 1235 fps and 7900 LUP.

#3
1 oz and 23 grains of 452 AA will boost the fps to 1290 with 8900 LUP.
