Yes, Lyman 5th Edition has a section on buckshot loads for 10, 12, 20 and 410. Most use plastic wads.

Eddie - I'll see which Lyman edition I've got too. The wife moved some of my stuff around.
I used to load #4 buck in AA cases using HS-6 powder and AA white wads with the petals cut off. I don't remember the charge weight on the powder or which primer though.
There's a few loads to be had if you go to www.hodgdon.com and enter the loading guide.

Eddie - Did you ever get the info you needed? I just picked up the newest RCBS shotshell book which has several buckshot loads listed. What specific hull or hulls are you looking at using? Let me know and I'll get you the info.
