I developed a long range load that was based on the slowest powder I could find - 800X. My thought is that the slow burn doesn't distort the shot. I don't believe it would ever be a commercial success because it had mimimal recoil, and would be viewed as "Weak"

I’ve hand-rolled duplex and triplex loads for upland birds. Usually 6, 7 1/2 and 8 in the triplex and 7 1/2-6 or 5-6 in the duplex. I never patterned them but bagged plenty of birds with them. I use my usual 1 oz recipes and just add my mixed shot.
