I use a real simple load.
I shoot 1 1/8oz. #9's for skeet and 7 1/2's for trap and 5 stand.
For both I use 16.5gr of 700X with Claybuster wads(white)and Winchester and or Remington STS hulls. I like the 700X because it's clean. Several of the guys I shoot with use Clays but the price is so close it's a wash. According to the chart that gives me about 1150fps. I check about every 15 or 20th for charge on the scale and it stays pretty close.(16.1 to 16.6) All this through a Mec 9000G.
I used to make a 1oz. load for skeet but they wouldn't cycle through some of the autos. My old M1 Super 90 will but it's been 3"mag'ed to death and the ole springs are pretty weak. The kids Browning would usually cycle but not regular enough to not be a pain in the rear, and I'm too lazy to change the bar in the loader.

P.S. I like the Remington STS Gold hulls the best. seems like they last longer. Might be my imagination tho.
