The best all around powder ?

[Paul Harm]

I've never shot Bismuth and have my first batch of GD and haven't used any yet. All my 2 5/8 loads were with lead shot - 700X and Promo were the powders I used. I only shot clay birds so loads are light - 1 1/16oz - 19grs of Promo.

I can't give you a recipe for 2 5/8" 1 3/8 ounce Bismuth loads, but I will say that Unique is a fairly slow powder, the ten gauge has a very big hole, so it would be hard to make up a load that would throw shot at 1150 and have a psi of 9500. I always look in the book to see if my logic is correct.
