I had these loads tested , http://www.16ga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16251 They are both nice mild Low pressure loads . They patterm well in my guns and are clean shooting . I like the one with the Fed 209a primer a little better .

The 3/4 oz loads Harold posted are nice loads . I have used them quite a bit for target practice , and can't tell any difference in my scores between them and the 7/8oz loads. and they save some on expensive lead.

There is a nice PB 1oz LP load on the Hodgdon site in the Fed hull using CCI and Win 209 primers . I cut the hull down to 2 9/16 and it fits fine . It makes a nice heavy low pressure hunting load for my Damascus guns.

The Red dot load post early is more than likely not low pressure if that is what you are looking for . Shotshells don,t show signs of pressure like metallic cartridges do .

Hope this helps .
