My 7/8 ounce loads at 1200 fps wouldn't blow up a gun with a cardboard barrel. I've become a wimp in my old age. This weekend, my pigeon club is having a shoot and I may just appear and give away my stash of 1 1/4 ounce loads to my fellow members.

I'm with you Bill. Most of my shooting is either 7/8 @ 1200, 1 oz @ 1170 or my screamer 1 oz @ 1225. I don't even remember the last time I shot an 1 1/8 oz load at a clay target

Chuck,
Please save your breath. I have decided that Bill Murphy pictures is a lost cause. While he talks about his stuff on the internet daily we will NEVER see a photo of anything in the "Murphy Collection" I think the estate sale will be the ONLY evidence and details where we will see what Bill had. I am sad that he will not share images on his posts as he claims to have some incredible stuff that I and others would really like to see! I have on multiple posts admonished Murphy for his refusal to post pictures hoping that he would understand the benefit of sharing his collection visually and even offered to help with no headway. So, My suggestion to you PGCA members is that when Bill Murphy asks you for a picture of anything please respond "YOU FIRST BILL!".

Thank you
PML
