    Scroll down the pages to see the loads.

    I note your point and thanks for the link. I had not seen that one.
    The data is aimed at muzzle loading which I do not do. I was asking about cartridge loads but the data seem very similar.
    When I die don't let my wife sell my guns for what she thinks I gave for them!!!

    I think the only difference between the loads for muzzleloaders and cartridge loads would be the resistance caused by the crimp or rolled turnover. Perhaps reducing the load by 10% would compensate for this?

    For 20g cartridge clay loads I use the 4.0cc Lee dipper.
    This gives me 24g of 7.5 lead shot and I use an equal volume of FFFG.
    An exceedingly pleasant load.
