Hello my name is Brad and i'm only 15 years old. I have been shooting Trap ever since i've been able to lift that 20 gauge up. But i have tooken up Re-Loading simply b/c its cheaper in the long run. I am asking for some suggestions on what shells to re-load. I have been re-loading Winchester AA's but have been having problems with them ''kinking'' and coming out all screwd up. So recently i have been reloading Remington STS's and Club loads and they have been working fine. But what is your opinion on that? Also, i started loading wads w/ 4 fingers (or leaves whatever you call them) when i re-ordered the usuall 4 finger wads i recieved the 8 finger wads and wanted to know if anyone has found any difference. And finally i wanted to get some opinion on what choke's you all would recommend for Trap shooting and at what yards to use them. Lately i have been shooting a Mod. from about the 16 to 22 yard line, then switching out to a Full from 23 on back. What is your input on this? Thanks in advanced for your suggestions. ~BraD~

Glad to see someone your age getting into the shotgun sports.
I use to shoot trap all the time...#2 in state at 18yrs...and the only choke I ever shot was an improved modified. I would not go any lighter than a mod from about the 16-18/19 yd line. No lighter than IM from 19/20-22. And would recommend a full choke from there back. #8s are typically fine from 16yd to 20/21 yds and then would switch to 71/2s.
I always shot Reminton STS rounds...and still do for everything. What type of wads are you shooting and what type of reloader do you have? I can typically get about 10-12 reloads per STS hull.
If you want to see how much you are saving, go to the following web site and click on reloading calculator...then i think its advanced calculator.

Let me know how everything goes....
