Blue Dot , Herco or Longshot . If I’m not mistaken W572 will work as well .

Herco, Longshot, SR4756 can all make them wads sing. Congrats
Yes sir, I loaded up some with Herco.I did see Longshot at lgs the other day think I might give that a try also.If I can brave the elements tomorrow I will make it to shooting range.
I’d like to scrounge up about 24 pounds of SR4756 that stuff works great in my 16 gauge 1 ounce loads with an SP-16 wad in the old WIN AA style hulls . I bought about 5,000 of the old AA style 16 hulls and six pounds SR4756 from a fellow year before last as well as thirty bags of SP-16 wads . He told me the MEC bushing etc and I loaded up a bunch . To make a long story short I shot and or loaded almost ten pounds of SR4756 in 16 gauge loads wish I could find more .Originally Posted by BentSprings

If you can find them, Accuraye#7 and Alliant Pro-Reach would both be suitable.

Just curious, what are you loading for? Longshot is my fav 20 ga powder.

Made it out today,shooting a Stevens single shot 20 gauge with full choke.Loaded 1 oz of #6 shot in a SP 20 Remington wad with Herco and Win AA hull. Love it, recoil was not bad and pattern was great at 20 yards.Still want to try Longshot in future.
That full choke makes it a 40 yd gun.

Yes you are right there, I need to go out to another range to be able to try at different distances.Had to use pistol range today.
I’ve tried bluedot and longshot with that wad and found I got better patterns with bluedot. It also felt like the recoil wasn’t quite as sharp as the longshot. More of a push, which I enjoy when shooting a little single shot gun.
I lived in Bellingham, when I was a kid,also spent summers in Point Roberts.Ya I'm trying to track down some Blue Dot no luck yet. I just picked up a older H&R single shot 20g and it will kick if you ain't holding on.
