Don't bother. The 9000 with 2 3/4" low pressure loads will be fine.

Bill: I need a 2.5 setup for some other guns as I do not want to ream their chambers.... always an excuse, right. LOL

Default Light 12 loads

I found this on the inside CB 3/4 ounce label. I'm currently loading Win Lite in AAs. Probably around 5000 psi. I like the 3/4 ounce loads for birds. Using #8, will try some #9 on the next go around.

Bruce, I recently posted some tested 1 oz. 12 ga. loads with Longshot. I have had really good results with it in several gauges for good velocity and low pressure. It seems to be one of the few powders currently available from several vendors. I have no clue how it will react to different hulls and components but here are the results I got.

Sorry, these were International! My mistake, the recent Longshot testing was 10 and 20 ga.

These were "cooked" specifically for a 12 ga. Damascus GH gun I recently acquired. Looking for 1200 FPS and sub 6K. Easy on an older gun/stock/shooter!

First find some powder. 700X, RD, GD, Promo, E3, Extra Light, Nitro 100, Clay Dot or American Select will all give you low pressure loads with 3/4 or 7/8oz of shot. 1 oz will have slightly higher pressures. I've used all of the above except CD at one time or another with success.
