BP do you also reload for modern shotguns as well? How does the PB perform in them? I'm just starting to put together my reloading supplies to roll my own. I haven't reloaded since I was a kid with my dad. I read that PB is more expensive than the others but that some of the older guys claim they get the best patterns with PB. What do you think?

Colonel,
I do reload modern shotshells, as well. I prefer Clays in our regular shells, because we want to run them closer to 1200 fps. PB in 12 ga isn't recommended for that load in the books.
I do load 20 ga. with PB. We don't shoot that much 20, so I'm not going to invest in a special powder like 20/28 or something like that.
As far as being more expensive, I just bought another can on Tue., and I paid $20 for it. I think that I pais about $19.50 for my last can of Clays, so that's about even.

thanks for the info, Skeeter. I'm absolutely fascinated. have you ever tried using something bullseye in your BP loads? Just curious.

Col, I reload 20 and 28 exclusively (that is about all I shoot now) and use 20/28 just because I have one powder for two sizes. most of my shooting buddies use red dot and clays.

Thanks gentlemen. BP thanks for letting me hijack your thread. I'm trying to learn all I can before jumping in. again, that wad some awesome information BP. Thanks for sharing.

Col, I feel the same way, This incredibly interesting. I may have to find an old hammer gun.
And thank you again skeeter, you've opened my eyes to a whole new world.
