Sorry, had the loads side by side, lost spacing when posted.

Keith exactly what I was looking for. Cheddite and Winchester primers are essentially the same. I have both. So cheddite hull, cheddite 209, international and sporting 16 wad? I have all that. Thank you

I like to keep PSI a little lower for my damascus guns. Fromm the Hogdons Reloading site:
2 1/2" cheddite Cheddite 209 primer (i sub a Win 209) Universal 19.9 gr 7/8 0z 6's SG 16 wad 1150 fps and 7500 psi This is the load I use, and doubt that the 50 fps less makes any difference,

Thank you Harold. I think at 1100fps and #8’s (the RST I happen to have) they are tickling those big roosters at a decent distance. I think shot size is a major culprit here too.

I use the exact same load as Harold but 7s in right barrel and 6s in left. If my dogs have the pheasant pinned first shot should be closer and rising bird, second probably a longer shot. I use the same combination on Sharptail.

Here is a 1 ounce load that was tested by Precision that I am using.16 gauge 2 1/2 inch Cheddite hull and primer,18 grains of Hodgdon Long Shot,Gualandi 2116 wad from Precision,or SG-16 wad from Ballistic Products,1 ounce nickel plated shot.I usually load 6 1/2 size shot with 6 point crimp.This load tested at 1200 FPS- 7270 PSI.It has worked great for me on roosters with my older 16s with short chambers.

Another great load candidate. Thank you. Someday I’m doing to work up a load to be tested. Sounds like fun.

Jeff, I have been looking for a 1 oz load to use on wild birds. I'll have to try and locate some Longshot, or find a 1 oz load in a 2 1/2' hull using 7625, PB, Universal, Unique, or International--all of which I have.
I have heard Longshot doesnt meter well, but I only want to load up a few boxes.
