    Being that trying to buy the powder you would prefer is almost impossible I experimented with some Unique powder in a 1 oz load seeing I had plenty of that and little of green dot or extra light .I used the lightest of the 1 1/8 loads showing 21 grams for AA hulls showing 1200 fps.On the norm going from 1 1/8 load to a 1 oz load you use a little more powder. loaded a few boxes with a 1 oz load with 21 grains unique AA hulls and shot a round of skeet and a round of trap .Recoil seemed about the same as factory 1oz loads and I saw no difference in breaks . Just wandering if anybody has tried this? I no playing with powder and making you own loads is not a good thing to do but some times you may have to improvise.

    Why improvise? Were you bored?

    There are many powders & wads are available with published 1 oz loads.

    I no there are plenty of powder for the 7/8 and 1 oz loads but trying to find those powder on the shelf has been next to impossible the last couple of years .

    Probably won’t find on your local shelves for some time, that’s why we’re purchasing online.

    the whole industry is pushing to sell online so they can track where it goes....then come get you and your guns.... when the socialists want it, back.

    Unique is a great powder for 1 1/8 loads. should work on 1 oz if the right wad is used.
