Can I substitute WAA12F114-12 for WAA12 in a 1 1/8 load safety.I am loading 24.5 of PB,Remington 209 primer, 8800 PSI,1250 FPS in Remington gun club hulls.I got this load data from Hodgton.I can`t get a good crimp with the WAA12,but can get a perfect crimp with the WAA12F114.I have adjusted more pressure on wad but still dosen`t crimp good.

Your specific load doesn't show up on Hodgdon's online loading data, especially at the very low pressure you've reported for this type of load. The closest one (primers are different) listed is:

2 3/4"REMINGTON STS, NITRO 27,OR GUN CLUB PLASTIC SHELLS, Lead Shot, 12-ga, 1 1/8 oz., 23.5 gr PB, Win. 209, WAA12, 10,200 PSI, 1250 fps.

Your load is already 1 gr of powder over this load, which is already crowding the maximum pressure for 12-ga. If it were me, I'd not substiture anything else... in fact, I'd not use your load at all.
