Im just getting into reloading for the 12 gauge and would like to know if anyone has the component list of the winchester AA trap loads.

Im looking for a 1 and 1/8th oz shot with 3 dram powder load.and possibly a 1oz 2 and 3/4 dram load all 8 shot

My reloading will be primarily for dove and some quail.or if anyone has a great load similar to those above that patterns really nice and your willing to share i would be thankfull.Dan
 
When I shot trap competitively, I was shooting a fair amount (20 boxes per week). I wanted a load that was economic, light recoiling, and smoked birds. I went with Solo 1000 It's a good, clean, single based propellant and gives low pressures with soft recoil. I could get it in a 25 pound container which dropped the price per load a lot. I bought wads by the case and primers by the sleave of 5000. I was able to keep the price per shot low.

My 16 yard singles load was:
STS or AA hull
Remington STS 209 primer
Claybuster 3118-12A wad
1 1/8 oz #8 hard shot
17.5 gr Solo 1000 (1150 fps = 2 3/4 Dram Eq)

My Doubles load was:
STS or AA Hull
Remington STS 209 primer
Claybuster 1100-12 wad
1 oz #8 hard shot
17.0 gr Solo 1000 (1150 fps Light Target Load)

My handicap load:
STS or AA hull
Remington STS 209 primer
Claybuster 3118-12A wad
1 1/8 oz #8 hard shot
19.3 gr Solo 1000 (1200 fps = 3 Dram Eq)

I used my 16 yard singles load for skeet, sporting clays, and when I upped the shot size to #7.5, for doves and quail.
