12Ga Loads for SASS

I am just starting to reload 12ga for cowboy shooting (SASS). I bought a few books but none of them have slower loads. I am looking for a book that has load data for 12ga that is about 900FPS. I am not as picky on the amount of shot but I would like something very slow.

Not looking for load data here, more so a load data book or official web page with cowboy loads in it.

Originally I was shooting 12 Gauge - 2-3/4" 1-1/8oz. #7.5 Shot - Federal Top Gun Subsonic but its getting hard to find these and I am looking for a load similar to these.

My smokeless recipe is 7/8 oz of shot in a grey Claybusters wad (clone of a Winchester 7/8 oz wad) over a MEC #25 bushing of Red Dot powder. Started with AA hulls but also use Remington STS or Remington Gun Club hulls.

I prefer Winchester 209 primers.

Winchester has a 12 gauge trainer load that runs 980fps. Personally, I like my 3/4oz 12 and 20 gauge reloads. I can load them from 1200 to 1275 and shoot them all day long in either an O/U or gas gun
