LOW PRESSURE LOADS

[Richard Flanders]

I shoot a 24gram shot PB load in my light damascus guns that is but 4200psi. Not a good winter load but great for summer preserve birds and grouse in hvy cover. My 1883 twist bbled hammer 12ga has v stout bbls and wood and has digested quite a lot of old 3-3/4 dram 1-1/4oz loads with no issues and I suspect could handle them for quite some time to come. Generally I stick to 1oz loads using 7625 at 6000-7000 psi.
