    Default 12 gauge Buckshot Load Data

    Anyone here load their own buckshot? I'm wanting to start loading 00 and 000 Lead in 3" 12 gauge. If anyone has load and component data I'd greatly appreciate it! All loads will be roll crimped.

    Also looking for a 000 buckshot mold if anyone's looking to unload one.

    Thanks in advance,

    Ricky

    This guy lives in SC and has several good videos on the reloading buckshot.

    First question- do you shoot dove? or Ducks?
    Second question- which one do you hit the most?
    Dove loads run same as a standard 3" 00 load in FPS- so they have the same lead- leeeeed not lead.
    Magnum hi performance buckshot runs the same speed as magnum duck loads= same lead.

    Now once you pick- look for load data

    The Lyman 5th edition has lots of buckshot data.
