David,

My 7/8 oz load:
WW X-Pert Hull
WW 209 primer
15.8 gr International Clays
DR 16 wad
1150 fps
6200 psi

Same as above with 17.4 PB yields 1150 fps @ 5900 psi

Let me know what hull etc you use and I will look in the 16 gauge low pressure data.

Harry,I use the Remington black hull with either R-16 1 oz. wad or the SP-16 wad for my spreader loads. Thanks Again Harry

[Harry Collins]

Dave,

A check of the spread sheet found no 1 oz loads for the black Rem hull and PB. They did have some 7/8 oz loads with the R16 wad and the black hull:

Fed 209A primer
18.0 gr PB
R16 wad
7/8 oz shot
9000 psi
1230 fps

Same as above with Rem STS primer = 7800 psi @ 1190 fps

Thanks alot Harry! I know this has been covered before. What is the conversion from LUP to PSI? Anybody know?

[Harry Collins]

Dave,

I don't think there is a conversion in any of the pressures test (CUP, LUP, PSI, TONS). Right or wrong I see PSI pressures up to 12000 and LUP up to or within a 1000 of PSI. So, if I see a LUP pressure at 10000 I know it is near MAX as 12000 PSI is for shotgun shells. Likewise, 8000 PSI being about all I want to run through a Damascus barrel I conclude that 8000 LUP to be close enough.

Hope we don't blow anything up.

Harry
