Getting back to reloading

[Quigley97]

All my Parkers are 12ga. I have been using this recipe for about 7 years. Depending on how your press drops powder, mine drops 17.5 to 18 grains of Clay Dot, Claybuster CB4100 wad which is a 1oz. or 7/8 oz. I only have Remington Nitro hulls and use usually Winchester 209 or Cheddite 209 primers. According to Alliant's web site the pressure is between 7,000 & 8,000 lbs. and right around 1150 to 1200 FPS.

The card on top will get you where you want to be. The other two are over the FPS that you are seeking. I do not alter published recipes, having said that I don't see a problem with cutting back on powder to reduce the velocity. I can't see how cutting back on powder would increase pressure or create concerns. You can also visit the Hodgdon and Alliant websites where you can probably find a plethora of recipes that will fit your needs. Good luck!
