Hogdon Longshot power

[ACooper]

Not sure how many reloaders we have here, but I am about to try some new recipes with some Longshot powder. Anyone use it? Experiences?

Use it for 28 ga load. Works wells I use it to hunt with.

One of my favorite powders, use it for 12 and 16 ga., steel and lead shot.

You mean Loudshot?

I have used it for some 12ga hunting loads and used in exclusively in 28 until I switched to 20/28. Using the Win AA HS 28ga hulls when they first came out - volume was an issue and Longshot worked great. All joking aside - it does sound different/louder to me when I shoot a load of it.

I use it for heavy 20 ga 1oz loads. Plenty of speed and knock down for late season jumpy birds

[Tejas]

Use it in 28 ga. clays and live birds...shoots well and leaves barrel relatively clean.

No doubt its loud.
I know alot of the oldtimers who shoot alot of turkey shoots / knockouts love it. When I need some "Hefty" trap loads with some serious "Pep" for shooting knockout competitions I will find a good recipe and utilize it. Any smokeless powder will work, its all relative to your application.

Good Luck Coop.

1 1/8 oz loads with 6 shot/Longshot are death on phez. I have gone over to mostly 20 ga for phez hunting now but when I was using the 12 ga, I used Longshot home loads.
