I agree with Kirk , Frank you seem to have it nailed down any thoughts ?

Gents, thanks for your feedback. I'd stocked up on PB and 7625 when they were going out of production and have some 4756 for heavies. I'll routine stop a small gun shops here and there while on my travels to check for more. Last I looked at the Hodgdon's website, several months ago, PB was still listed but 7625 and 4756 were absent. I checked again today and PB is gone also. I haven't looked at other shotgun powders on the market to search for single-base alternates but when I do that I'll post here.

There are a great number of recipes on Alliant's web site. The one I use in all three of my 12ga. Parkers, two of which are Damascus Barrels, is
Remington Nitro hull
Remington 209 primer
17.5 grains of Clay Dot
CB4100-12b wad
7/8 ounce of 7.5 shot
1200 f.p.s.
5400 p.s.i.
The bushing in my Ponsness Warren drops 17.2 grains and the loads crush clays consistently. The recoil is also very acceptable.

For low pressure I've used Unique, 700X, Promo, Red Dot, American Select, and Green Dot to name a few. There are lots of powders out there for low pressure. Today it's more what you can get, not so much what you like.
