Federal 12s3 Wads Recipe

Here is a decent recipe for the federal gold medal hulls that matches your components. My recipes that i use and have used for a number of years with very good success: Of hard shot, 17 grs. Of 700x, federal 12s0 (or clone) wad, federal 209a primer. 1200 fps and very soft.

I use this for singles and both shots of doubles. Look at the hodgdon load data website. There are win209 recipes with various wads, i chose the federal 12c1 clone. There are cheditte recipes with the federal 12s3 wad. I chose to use tightwad powder, because it has been available, and i found the stack height with.

Original factory wads are available to the reloader. Replacement duplicate or clone wads are also available. Federal or estate hull with paper base wad, federal 12s3 or clone wad, 19 grains of red dot or promo powder, federal 209a primer, 1 1/8 ounce of your favorite lead shot. Gives around 1200 fps and is a suprisingly soft load. I have used the 12s3 wad, both federal and clay buster, in the federal paper hull with very good success. I only use recipes from a reliable source such as federal. This is true for all my reloading of shotgun shells. I only load trap loads both light, 1250 fps or heavy 1200 to.
