I'm not a reloading guru and I wonder why some shells are just "snotty" and not fun to shoot. I know payload matters, but powder burn rate? I'll give you an example, shooting AA 1 1/8oz "light" target loads at 1170 (I think don't have the boxes here) they are just not pleasant to shoot at all. A 1300fps Fiocchi Spreader is easier to shoot, and a 24g 1350 bunker load from Clever is just heaven. I'm not sure why some are just not fun and punchy while others are easy. Top Gun are also a bit punchy so I wonder how much powder has a role. These were in a Beretta 694 not a SxS.
