I'm looking for load data for a 12 ga. 2 3/4 or 3" shell using accurate#2,5,7 or 9 power. Where can I find this data?

All I can find is Solo 1000 or Nitro 100 shotshell load data.

In my opinion, All 4 of those powders are much too fast to load 12 ga Shot shells. The pressures that you would create assuming you could find data would blow both your shotgun and you apart. Don't even think about it.

There is a lot of data on the Hodgdon site using very fast shotgun powders like Universal, Titewad and Clays. :D

I found some old slug data for #2, #5 and #7 in 12 and 20 gauge.
