16 gauge 2 1/2 low pressure loads

[Ron Scott]

Hey John, how's it going? Check out www.16ga.com -- lots of good info.

I shoot a 16 gauge Damascus Parker GH and have used the following load a lot for both clays and live birds:

16.3 grs of Unique under 7/8 oz of #8s

I'm using new pre-primed Fiocchi hulls trimmed to 2 1/2” and Ballistic Products "Sporting 16" wads loaded on a PW 375

According to published data this loads runs at 7800 psi

Ron, are you shooting 2 1/2" or 2 3/4" shells with that load?

Thanks for picking up on that — 2 1/2” — I’ll edit my post
