Kent TM low pressure load
1 Attachment(s)
I love the performance of Kent TM shot but the factory shells generate a pressure of 10000 psi plus. I felt uncomfortable shooting the factory loads in my vintage guns, even my Super Foxes and #3 frame 12 ga. Parkers. So I developed a load from harvested TM shot from factory loads and had it tested. The load is 12ga 2 3/4" Cheddite hull, 209 Cheddite primer, 28.5 GR Longshot, Remington Fig. 8 wad, 1 1/4 oz. #5 Kent TM. 1204 FPS, EV. 23, 5466 PSI. EV. 300.
I am very happy with how mild the load is. I am NOT Recommending this load it is for information only. Craig Larter |
Nice consistent load, good job!

Wow Craig. Thanks for sharing. You do seem to have found your calling. Your ten gauge load is the best and I would imagine lots of old 10g. guns thank you. Now this. I wonder how this would translate with other nontox shot.

Wow, I would have never thought a 1 1/4oz load at 1200fps could have such a low pressure. Hodgdons only shows 1330fps loads with Longshot with a 1 1/4oz [ lead load ] in a Federal hull [ straight walled like a Cheddite hull ]. It's nice you had the idea to test it at 1200fps. Thanks.
