does anyone have one of the older winchester load manuals- about an 11th or 12 edition? I am in need of data for win 540 with AA hulls for 28 ga - there is probably only one load shown ( 540 has been discontinued for several years) Thanks!

The Lyman Shotshell Handbook, 2nd Edition lists 28 gauge loads using AA cases and 540 powder. The data is as follows:

2 3/4" AA cases, 3/4 oz. shot

540 17.0 grs. Win. 209 Primer Winchester WAA28 wad
Velocity 1,200 f.p.s., Pressure 9,770 L.U.P.

540 17.0 grs. CCI 209 Primer Winchester WAA28 wad
Velocity 1,200 f.p.s., Pressure 9.760 L.U.P.

Hope this helps. All the best...
