I had opportunity to shoot some of the 1oz. loads with 20 gr. international this past weekend. My "test" gun is a 3 1/2" mag Winchester X2 with a 28" mod barrel. Considering the rhino roller 3 1/2" steel goose loads I shoot out of it, I figure it'll handle ANYTHING I want in one of my fine SxS shotguns or anything else for that matter. These chrongraphed at an average of 1260 FPS X 5 rounds with folded crimp and about 25 FPS less roll crimped. All were Cheddite paper hulls. Hard to judge but seemed little or no difference on recoil and report than the RST rounds. Will be sending some of them and several other recipes off for testing (including my best effort/guess at a duplicate of the RST) and share the report with all. Ken, FYI, the thread you mentioned was my source.
