12 ga. shotshell loads for hunting

[EdSartell]

I enjoy hunting pheasant with my 1906 DHE. I'm just starting out to reload shotshells. Quite a few people have advised me to make loads with lower pressures due to the age of this gun. This does make sense to me and I'm wondering what some of you guys might be doing . I've tried Hevi-Shot's Classic Doubles (The cub I belong to requires Non-Toxice shot) they are ridiculously expensive ~ $3.00 a shot. Reloading is the realistic choice. Looking for any input on recipes.

Thanks

Ed,

There is a thread on the Reloading section that deals with low pressure. A lot of different loads are being presented. Non tox is an issue. I use NiceShot, but it cost almost $2.00 just for the shot each time I pull the trigger. It does work.
