    I've just cast up a bunch of 00 buckshot with my Lee mold. anyone have any load data for WAA hulls using a 9 pellet 00 load. My interweb skills are failing me. I would like to use herco powder but could change that if needed.

    When I first got to searching this stuff everything I found said "treat it like shot of the same weight." Same went for slugs. But that's just the internet talking.

    A single 00 pellet should be around 60 grain, so 9 pellet load equals an 1 1/4 ounce load.

    Depending on what wad you will be using, loads are a little bit different. Try this page here

    For your herco powder recepies, scroll down a little bit, hit 12ga recepies and enter your hull and wad.
    You may want to consider using a little bit sawdust or similar if you want to buffer the shot.
