Those were actually for my steel barrel Parkers, always looking for good performance with the least pressure I can get. Better for the barrels, the wood, and the shooter! I also recently got back from testing some Damascus gun loads, also with International. The goal was 1200 FPS and 6K PSI, got real close. See them below. I will have to dig for the 12 ga. Longshot loads. I used it for some 10 ga as well as 2o ga. with very good success. Third page below was the best in my opinion. These were specifically a quest for Damascus gun loads.
