RST Load Pressure Sheet
 
I used to have a sheet, provided by RST, which displayed their individual load pressures by type of ammunition. I seemed to have misplaced mine. If anyone has one and would provide it to me, I would be appreciative. If it makes it easier, my email is webah65@gmail.com

I have tried contacting RST multiple times in various methods and have struck out getting an answer.

Thanks!

As I look for it, here's the BP pressure chart. Probably my favorite shells.

I would caution you that these are 8 years old and I know for a fact they are using different powders now. Morris told me a lot has changed in the past few years. I haven't seen a current pressure sheet and I'd guess they stopped due to changing recipes all the time. I know they use a good amount of Perfect Pattern but that's from people I know who've worked there I CANNOT confirm it.

Thanks Andy. I copied that chart and will print it for my own purposes.

Thanks Dylan and Andy. I suspected they had changed ingredients based upon my observations. The question in my mind was they now sell an Ultra which I remembered as an Ultra Lite. In the list provided they show a Lite and an Ultra Lite, but no Ultra. I also suspect they may not be handing out that sheet any longer.

Appreciate it nonetheless.

The B & P Comp Ones are a great shells as long as you aren't using a gun in which you get misfires. When I first learned about them I bought 3 flats. I immediately began to experience, maybe one in ten, light strikes. I tried other guns, got the same results. Measured firing pin protrusion, no problems there. Mike mentioned to me once that he had seen issues with misfires at his range with them.

Finally I found two guns that never misfire with them, an Iver Johnson Special Trap, and a double hammer gun. Odd thing is that both of them have external hammers.

There's a new kid on the block, though. New to me at least. Armusa Classico 2 1/2" loads that, according to the data I looked up, are at 6100 psi, and have 6% antimony. I will likely be ordering some soon to try.

Armusa shells are very high quality and have been used to win world championships. Serious live pigeon shooters in other countries hold Armusa in very high regard, according to a friend of mine who shoots live pigeons worldwide.

Correct Stan. Armusa are used by our bunker trap shooters a lot. They’re great shells. I already went through my 20 flats of regular loads. Have another 40 here soon. If you can find the low pressure ones they’re very very good you’re right but are much harder to source I’m finding.

I’ve found them at ClaysAmmo.com,
Ammofix comes up if you google ClaysAmmo, but scroll down and the low pressure 12 ga come up.
