    Go to Hodgdon's web site for several 20ga loads.

    Best combo these days would be Claybuster wads and 572 powder. Both will fit well in a STS/GC/HOA hull.

    For my 20 ga loads, I use STS hulls, and Longshot powder, with one ounce loads. Don't have wad data handy. I've loaded many hundred of these and they work well.

    7/8 oz of shot, 15.5 grain of 20/28 powder, Remington rxp wad or windjammer, Cheddite or Winchester’s primer and you’re good to go. 572 is also a good powder I have used if 20/28 is scarce

    According to the Hodgdon website I use 15.0 grains Winchester Super Field powder (WFS), Cheddite primer and the Claybuster 7/8 oz. wad. Stack height comes out nicely and makes for a clean burning load.
