Thanks for sharing your results Jeff,

I had set out to reload low pressure shells for my 1880 16 gauge. I researched suggested reloading info and decided I would try Longshot since it was supposed to give pretty low pressures. I followed the book and took them for a spin.
I did not have them tested, but they had noticeably more recoil than the Federal factory loads, I was disappointed.
I had came into some RST 2 1/2" 16 gauge loads again and haven't tried a different powder yet.
Fortunately there's a boat load of information shared by the different fellows on here for the 16, so it's back to giving it another go.
Stan
