The Federal hull load, is this the plastic Gold Medal hull or another Federal plastic?
Also is the primer the old Federal 209 or the newer 209A?
Very similar results to this load of yours from 13 months ago.
12 ga. 2 1/2" Cheditte
Cheditte 209 primer
20 gr. International
BPI Competition Special Short
1 Oz. #5 bismuth
Avg vel. 1265 Avg press. 7692 PSI
Shot it all duck season last year. Wasn't a very good season but when we had ducks this worked well out 45+. Recoil isn't objectionable either, might be a bit starchy for a heavy day of clays. I shoot the same load with 1 oz. #7 or #8 lead for doves.
