I need a light load recipe for this powder.

Would 14.2 grains powder bring the pressure down sufficiently? Anyone have a suitable recipe for 20 ga field loads with this powder for vintage parkers?
What hulls and primers are you using? 2 3/4? Are you wanting low pressure for damascus barrels?
I can check my spreadsheets--lots of loads listed using Longshot, I've never tried longshot myself.
