Default Longshot powder?

I see some recipes on the 16g society for low pressure 2 1/2" shells. I just had 8 pounds literally fall into my lap. Any good clays loads to share in 16 and 28g? Thanks in advance.

I have no 16 gauge loads but the Hodgdon manual thing shows a good many for the 20 and 28 . In my powder haul of a week or two ago I think I got 12 pounds of Longshot . So now I have an idea of what it'll be used for

Daryl, John has them posted on this site but I can send them to you. He had them evaluated by Tom Armbrust. I loaded some for hunting and they work well.
