Default Low pressure 12 ga.

Just got these back. Recently had a nice 12 ga. "G" Damascus follow me home and wanted something gentle to feed it. My ideal load is 1200 FPS and sub 6K PSI. Got pretty close with these, may tinker with the powder charge a tiny bit but a good start.
For those interested included are 2 identical loads EXCEPT one has "factory" Cheddite primers, the other has what I know to be the CX2000. There was some discussion a while back as to whether the factory primers generated less pressure than those available to reloaders. In this case the CX2000 actually came in some 300 PSI lower than "factory". That may or may not be true with other combinations.
Please help yourself, as always, at your own risk.
