Just loaded up 50 with ClayBusters new 3/4oz wad. The only one I missed is skeet was my fault, and in 5-stand out to 35yds they seemed to break birds just fine. I did notice in skeet quite a few of the birds turned to a smoke ball - they could have too tight a pattern at that range. If anyone would like to try them call 1-800-922-6287. I still have 4000 CB-0178s so it'll be a month or so till I order the new ones. Paul

I LOVE 3/4 oz "killer bees" going 1520 fps as recommended by BPI. No recoil and really up my averages on dove! Didn't know claybuster made that small wad, the ones I've been using are rather expensive. Thanks. Steve

You can also load 3/4 oz 12ga with the CB-0178's and Alliant Extra Lite without using filler. Have not tried it yet, but there are recipes on the Alliant website. The CB 3/4 oz 20ga wad is great too.

I quail hunt with 12 gauge, 3/4 oz., 2 1/2 inch, No.8 shells from RST.
I shoot the same round on sporting clays.

I just shot a round of sporting with these new wads and 3/4 oz. loads. All I can say is that I will hardly ever load a 7/8 oz. "magnum" cartridge again! Even with IC choke I easily broke targets to 40 yards and more. When I did things right.
The best part is I get a "free" shot charge every seven rounds, less recoil, less strain on the gun, less weight to deal with in the cartridge bag -- and more FUN.
It's like shooting an improved 28-bore. I'm hooked. Thanks Claybuster!
The only concern is that the cup volume is reduced via a small moulded-in post in the bottom of the cup floor, about 1/16 inch high. It takes a little getting used to at the wad insert station. But once that's past, no issues.

Where can one find a good recipe for one of these loads

Are loaded shells available commercially? I don't reload for shotgun, unfortunately.
