I shot a 23 in ATA trap this week with an 1879 NO 1 frame twist barrel Parker underlifter, choked IM in both barrels. I rotate from barrel to barrel shooting the Winchester AA low pressure loads with PB and 1 1/8 oz #71/2 shot. the Parker is 28 inches uncut.

I wonder how many other wall hangers need to be brought back to life with low pressure loads?

Federal paper hull

18 gr clays powder

My load is similar to Robert's above. I use a full length 2 3/4" Federal paper hull and a standard star crimp. My load differs from Roberts in that I use a Federal wad and primer. Other parameters are identical. Measured pressure 6500 psi. Measured velocity 1150 fps
