Try Bulls-eye powder with a red Winchester wad so you can get as much "shot" as you can get in the shell. Popcorn should be a good load. Try to get 3/4 to 7/8 ounce of small popcorn in the shell. 16 1/2 to 17 gr of Bulls-eye. Rocksalt is also hard to get to shoot well. 2f or 3 f black powder will also work with light loads. Just have to clean the gun

Thanks for all the input. I found the BEST load at Walmart. I paid $20 for 10,000 plastic 6mm Air Soft pellets. I get 24 in a 12 gauge shell in a regular trap load wad ahead of my trap load powder charge. Using WW AA cases, I get a nice crimp and a great 20 yard pattern.
This weekend the acid test will be in the wild boar fenced enclosure. Adam

After Action Report
The Air Soft loads were 100% successful on even the biggest boars with an ATTITUDE! A fellow (human) on site was so impressed that he noted the recipe and will use the Non-lethal air soft balls for his home defense load. Whatever.

You should never ever use a handload of any kind for home defense. If you ever have to go to court for using it you absolutely don't want to give any fuel to the fire of "it was specially made to blah therefore my client (the bad guy) should get everything because if he had used a regular load he wouldn't be injured now"
it's stupid, but it's true. FYI GoodOlBoy

GOB,
I hear what you say about handloads and I understand what you say. I have been involved with a few justifiable shootings in the past and the only issue was: Was deadly force necessary?" HOW the force was applied was moot. In a nearby case a homeowner used an aluminum baseball bat to whack an armed midnight home invader and the bad guy died. NO criminal charges were lodged against the homeowner/victim. At civil court in the wrongful death suit the BG's family attorney said the homeowner "should have used a wooden baseball bat." The case was tossed out because the Question was the "Standing and Reasonableness of the use of deadly force." In my home, use of reloads is protected by my state Castile Doctrine. IF a homeowner is prosecuted for midnight home defense with handloads, I would encourage all homeowners to SSS: Shoot, Shovel and Shut-up and wait for the next mope. Just saying... One more thing: Using Factory Ammo will NOT make a "Bad" shooting "Good." The legal test is: "Was deadly force necessary?" How the force is applied is up to the victim to determine. Adam
