With my MEC Sizemaster I get 18.4 to 18.8 grains of Red Dot using the bushing specified for 19 .0 grains. This variation is likely due to how the press is cycled between throws. It makes no difference as to how the load functions and the clay targets are crushed. Both of my "short ten's" really like this load. If the velocity is down around 1100 fps, pressure is probably pretty light and I have not noticed that my lead has changed from shooting the same presentations with my 12 ga. at 1200 fps. The load just seems to work. I believe I'd try the 22.0 grain loading or the 20.0 grain with Green Dot loading for a hunting load if I wanted a substitute for the 4 to 4.25 dram black powder load.
