    12 gauge 3" Cheddite hull/primer
    35 grains Steel
    LBC50 wad
    1-1/4oz steel shot
    Fold crimp.
    1450-1480 FPS
    Same load with 50 grains Lil'Gun gives you 1520 FPS and 10,700 PSI.
    I've killed a pile of ducks with the first load.

      Thanks for the info. Still looking for the best load. Will have to order some of those wads and give them a try.

      @@saltcreekammo The LBC 50 is one of the few I have not ordered yet. I just ordered some Ranger elite as the SOS Has many loads for it. Thanks again. I have only just started in reloading and appreciate any info I can get.

    Are you only interested in using AS powder? I have some now but it was unobtainium for 3 years so I just developed a bunch of steel shot loads using longshot. LS does great with steel shot as well, lots of loads out there for it.

      I started with Longshot as it was the only thing I could find also. I do have some decent loads for 2 3/4 with Longshot. Now that I too was able to get some Alliant Steel I am working on loads with it also. So many options available now that I have obtained both powders.
