Loading buckshot

stu925 · March 17, 2014, 09:04 PM

Got a call today from my nephew who would like to load up a bunch of buckshot. I've never dealt with it before and in fact I've only loaded target loads. So here's what I'd like to do if it's feasible: I have more AA wads then I'll ever use and a ton of Claybuster AA replacement wads. I also have a couple kegs of Solo 1000 powder that I would like to use so he doesn't have to buy it. Has anyone here used this combination before and if so what were the results? I don't want him to have to invest in any components if he can use what I have on hand. I'm hoping to get him into loading his own since he shoots so much. Any help here would be great.
