Winchester low recoil 20 G
 
Gave up trying to find AA fired 20 G hulls, bought two flats of Winchester’s Low Recoil shells. 7/8 oz box says 980 FPS. My reloads are 3/4 oz about 1100 FPS. Shooting the two loads together in one of my Trojans hard to tell which is factory which is my pet reload.

Finish them up will have 500 AA empties . 8 bucks a box from Academy free shipping and Winchester is supposed to rebate 2 dollars a box.

i wonder what the pressures are in those shells? Would be nice to be able to use them in my damascus and twist steel guns--wouldnt have to reload as much. They also make a 12 ga Featherlite load at 980 fps.
I have a case of the Herters Low Recoil 12 ga, but have only shot them in fluid steel guns, as I'm not sure what kind of pressures they produce.
Anybody using either of these in damascus guns?

They work great in my old 20's and 2 1/2" chambered guns. Haven't tried the 12's yet

Don’t think I would use them in a Damascus gun without a pressure test. Trojan not concerned about a mild modern shell. Shooting clay targets high volume its recoil I pay attention to and was pleased with them.

I shot some of the 12 gauge feather lite at warble trap out of a Damascus Parker. Crushed the targets.
