Kent makes a 2 1/2" low pressure load. The problem is finding them. Fiochi makes a 2 3/4" trainer load.

The Winchesters run about 6000 to 6500 some hate em, some love em, for me they work fine, just messy! Curous to see if there were any others out there. I heard there is a B&P shell on the market that has lower pressures but not quite sure what it was called.

Dont know what the pressures are in the Herters, so have not tried them in my 1875 WW Greener hammer gun damascus, I did shoot them out of my Fox pin gun and a light Ugartechea 12 and the recoil is light--but not as light as my 7/8oz reloads using either Red Dot or Win AA Light. Would love to be able to shoot the Herters Low Recoil thru my damascus guns to save time at the reloading bench with the Mec 600 jr, have a Cabelas within 10 miles of me.

Low recoil is not necessarily low pressure

WW Xtra Lite 1oz load is about 7400psi.
Loving to play "Damascus and Twist Roulette" I will shoot any 12 gauge off the shelf that is 1oz or less at 1200 fps or less. When I reload I keep it under 8000psi. I am not sure about todays loads, but modest Italian shells as described above were kept at lower pressures out of deference to the many old guns still in use. Harry |

Herters Low Recoil at 9200 PSI would be above my comfort level by a few thousand PSI.
Looks like I will stick to my reloads, although the BP 24 g loads would seem ok,
