Default Kent TM low pressure load

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

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.

Nowhere in Craigs post does he state that he's shooting 12 gauge Cheddite hulls in a 10 gauge firearm.

I intend to have it tested with nice shot and can do bismuth as well - although there are plenty of tested bismuth recipes out there

the last kent tm vs nice shot comparison i had done came out with nice shot 4 to 500 psi higher in a ten gauge load
