I had thought about returning the powder, if I could, because of its limited use in light loads. Apparently, it is very good for heavy loads, but those UP grouse aren't that hard to kill--just hard to hit. I do have card wads, fiber wads, overshot cards, and of course a baggie of cheerios on the reloading bench.
Good to hear from you. I know you will find this hard to believe, but I was high gun in our group of 6 last week breaking 80/100 on the local sporting clays range--used a Rizzini 600OU in 16 ga .

Powder usually isn't a returnable item. Congrats on the shooting. If you want to use it in a 2 3/4 inch 20ga hull I have a good low pressure recipe. I found another grouse hunting area while in Channing yesterday.

Harold , as suggested before , If it were me I would use the 1oz data and load 7/8 oz using a filler if needed and give it a try . If loading in a 2 1/2 hull and using the sg 16 wad I doubt that you will need a filler . I have seen at least one ,... 3/4oz load using longshot on the LPG it stated it was very constant , it should be very low pressure though , so may not be good for cold weather . load up a few and give it a try .

Your score would have sounded better if a Parker had been used.

Paul
I use the Rizzini 600 Ou with double triggers to shoot up the 14 cases of factory 16 loads I have, and then use the hulls to load up the 7/8 and 3/4 oz loads i prefer for my Parkers, etc. Unfortunately, I do shoot the OU better on clays, but definately prefer to use the SXS's. It is the only gun I own that has choke tubes, but I never switch them, leaving the cyl and IC chokes in the gun. It's heavier weight ( 6 lbs 9 oz) soaks up the recoil from those factory loads.
