I am new to this area of Texas Gun Talk, but used to reload 12ga for sporting clays. I loaded mostly 7.5 shot but some 8.0 and even some 6 or 6.5 shot (stainless, where required). Wonder if anyone has loads they prefer, or even powders and primers. My eyes aren't what they were and I have given this up for the most part, but, I enjoy hearing what others use or do now.
