Can't remember if I ever weighed one or not, Scott. I do know that they are very good game bird loads. That "slow" 1100 fps velocity is misleading. They pattern good and hit like hammers. I love shot shell loads in the 1100 - 1165 fps. range in S X S guns. They seem to always regulate well if the payload is heavy enough. These anemic loads that so many S X S shooters have adopted do not regulate in many vintage guns, IME.
