Kind a. Never thought about it. I shoot just clays, so all my loads are less than 1oz. And of course because I shoot just old SxS's they're low pressure loads. They're easier on the gun stocks and breech. I've always used the IMR powders [ but there are many others to serve the same purpose ] and there are many low pressure loads with 700X, PB, and 7625 just to name a few. This is for 12ga. Clays or Clay Dot is good in 12 or 20ga for low pressure. It's a combination of powder, wad, and shot volume. Any primer but Federal is mild and about the same. If you want to save some money use Promo, it loads the same as Red Dot and is about the cheapest. It is the same as Red Dot only dirtyer. Clay Dot is next for price. We also use Claybuster wads because they're cheaper than factor wads and do as good. www.hodgdon.com will give load data and www.claybusters.com will also give data. You want to shoot black powder use only paper wads and get them at www.circlefly.com - hope this helps. Cheddite primers will sub for Win, Rem, or CCi's. They're also cheaper. Good luck - any questions let us know.
