You need way more information that we can give you here.
Buy the Lyman Shotshell Reloading Handbook, 5th Edition and read.

You absolutely need to pick up a reloading scale. There are no bushing charts for Promo powder. Promo is a discount powder because Alliant only blends each batch to match Red Dots burning rate, not its density. So you may often have to change bushings when changing batches. Get a good electronic one if you can afford it.njtinman said:
For the Claybuster wads: 3/4 & 7/8 oz use CB0178-12=WAA12L; 1 oz CB8100-12=TGT12; 1 1/8 CB8118-12=Fig 8. Use the Remington Premier, STS; CCI209, Red Dot recipe for 1 oz and 1 1/8 oz loads. For the 3/4 oz load search for Case's 3/4 oz load. For the 7/8 oz load buy Rem 209P primers if you insist on following the book. I'll check Lyman's later for any CCI 209 primer loads.
CB110-12/WAA12SL or CB1118-12/WAA12

As you can see by my other post, Claybuster makes a bunch of different clones. We cannot read your mind to figure out what Claybuster wads you can find locally, so post what CB wads you can get.
I checked Lyman's 5th ed and could only find couple of Red Dot/Promo recipes with Down Range XL-1 and Fed 12S0 wads. The main problem is that Alliant has very few published loads with primers other than the company that makes the hull. I thought that I was a 1 oz CCI 209 recipe, but I guess it was for CCI 209M. Rechecking Alliant's on-line guide there are only 2 recipes for 1 1/8 oz load with Red Dot/Promo powder, CCI 209, and Rem Fig 8 / the CLAYBUSTER CB8118 wad is the clone of the Rem Fig 8.
If you insist on having tested and published recipes then pick up some Hodgdon Clays powder. Here is the link to Hodgdon's website => http://www.hodgdon.com
Now if you want some loads that should be below the 11,500 psi maximum pressure, just let us know what Claybuster wads you can get.

njtinman,
You will get so many recommendations here that it will only tend to confuse you even more.
Since it is, (or rather you have), decided to use Promo powder. My suggestion is for you to call Alliant and ask for their current copy of Alliant's Reloaders Guide. This has a special section showing many loads for Promo powder.
Call 1-800-276-9337, and order your copy of the guide.
Additionally, since the load data for Red Dot is identical to Promo, (actual charge weights, not bushings), you can use any published data for Red Dot, and simply use the same weight of Promo, and be fine.
