Check your local Sportmans Warehouse. Their website shows some of the stores have CCI #200 LR.
Closest to me is a good 100 miles one way, and I've never been in it. ;) :lol:

Big Al:

After your last post, I did some checking. I did not have a #22 bushing in the charge bar. I had a #24 bushing in the charge bar.
Apparently I had done some charge weighing in the past but don't remember doing so. (Memory ain't what it used to be)
My load data for Winchester AA shells calls for 15.0 gr. of Unique for 1155 fps
My load data for Remington STS shells calls for 15.5 gr. of Unique for 1155 fps

My MEC table shows a #24 bushing dispensing 16.4 grains of Unique.

I weighed 10 charges of Unique with the #24 bushing - Here are the drop weights that I got. I was pleasantly surprised in how well the drops repeated.
14.9, 15.0, 14.9, 14.8, 15.0, 15.1, 14.7, 14.8, 15.0, 14.9

I am using a $40+ Franford Arsenal digital scale.

Now when I get time, I need to check my 12 gauge loader to see if I actually have a #31 bushing in it.

I switched to Unique about a week or so ago. My 24 bushing shows what yours did. I also weighed the 25 bushing which shows 15.4 to 15.6 I loaded some at each weight. I dont see or feel the need to use the 25 bushing I shot really well with the 24 bushing. Im going to use that bushing with Unique and some 8.5 shot for my loads.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Big Al:

I got my MEC #25 bushing in the mail today (was on backorder). My drop weights of Unique were 15.4 to 15.7 - basically same as you got.

I am going to use the #25 with Unique. According to my load information:
15.0 grains of Unique with AA hulls gives a velocity of 1155 fps
15.5 grains of Unique with STS hulls gives a velocity of 1155 fps
I prefer my loads have a velocity between 1145 fps - 1200 fps
