I have started casting #4 Buckshot to reload 12 ga shells. I am having a difficult time finding loading data for buckshot. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Reload 12 Ga w/ #4 Buckshot
Re: Reload 12 Ga w/ #4 Buckshot
I don't have the manual here with me, but I recall the lyman manuals have data for buck loads.
If I don't forget I'll check when I get home.
