Hello,
I have a box of 12ga 2 3/4 shells that have the wrong load in them. I meant to load 30 grs of HS-6, 1-1/4 load, WAA12 wad, WIN AA hull. After I loaded one box I noticed I had the 1-1/8 shot bar in the re-loader. Are these safe to shoot? should I break them down and salvage what I can? Any help would be appreceiated!

Thanks,
p3ordie

Yes, you can always go DOWN in shot weight using load data for heavier shot charges safely, but NEVER go UP in shot weight. If you loaded with 1 1/4 oz data and only threw 1 1/8 oz of shot the shells are safe to shoot.
