I know it has been discussed repeatedly on here but I'm looking to start reloading and my starter shells will be the Winchester LRLN shells. I want to send 1oz of lead downrange between 1050fps and 1150fps with pressures less than 7k. Any confirmed, good loads? Thank you.

What powders do you have? Start with the Hodgden website since Alliant powders are nonexistent

Someone can probably give you better advice, but I would try to pick up a Hodgdon reloading manual or something similar at your local gun supply store. (They're usually free). That way you can figure all of the different combinations. Most reloaders do. Good luck with your reloading.

This is right from the Hodgdon site https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/ The factory specs for the Winchester AA Lite, Powder: Winchester AA Lite, Primer: Win. 209, Wad: J-XL-1, Grs. 12.4, Pressure: 4900, Velocity: 970. Change to 13 grs. powder, Remington TGT-12 wad, 6500 PSI, and 1,025 fps. There are different loads to pick from.

Don't currently have powder or components.

Looks like 13g of Perfect Pattern powder with Winchester components will satisfy my needs. 1oz, 1050fps, 6900psi. Any feedback on Perfect Pattern?

I've been using it 12 grs at a time in a cheddite or similar hull cut to 2" with a BPI short shell wad, 15/16 oz of lead, and a roll crimp for 1125 fps. 6300 psi. The powder really meters nicely in any decent powder measure (I use a Redding). Very nice to shoot and great patterns.

AA Lite was discontinued over 10 years ago.
Perfect Pattern is good, I've used about 6 pounds so far.
It's dirty... your hands will be filthy after shooting.
The price of it has gone up 30% since its introduction last year.
Expect more of that since Hodgdon is about to become the monopoly they've always wanted to be.

I believe Winchester Super Target has replaced AA Lite.
