Charlie,

A 24 gram load is actually very slightly less than 7/8 ounce (.846 compared to .875). It is 24 grams of shot, 23.5 grains of SR7625, Win 209, cb1100-12 wad in a WWAA case. 3500 p.s.i., 1150 fps.

With a Remington 209P primer, they are 3000 p.s.i.!

8 point crimp.

I imagine since it is pushing such a light load there are no bloopers as with heavy charges. I have not had a problem but never shot them when it was that cold. I made these up for a GH Damascus with a repaired dent which shows .022 thick, but several inches before the choke starts. Can't get much lower pressure than these.

Oh I'm also happy with my Golds - but they don't work any better than the Silvers with part of the lip ground off but cost about three times more. I've used 700X for years - the pressure is a bit higher than 7645 but when used in the 10ga it takes a lot less powder. Does anyone load 10ga brass hulls with smokeless ? I tried in 12ga with PB but got bloopers with almost 1/3 more powder than I was useing in plastic hulls so I quit. Would Blue Dot be better ? Paul

paul i have used bluedot with good results in brass tens...but i was shooting heavy loads of oo buck..1 1/2 ounces of lead ...it should work good even with lite loads...the secret i fond to them brass loads was to keep some pressure on the top wad while you used hot glue and use it all away around the top wad...i believe the problem with brass shells having a lot of bloopers is the top wad raising up and a fellows gets to much airspace.... so by pushing down the top wad while gluing as been the anwser for me...you mite not have to change oowders if you try this...let us know if it works for you with the old powder if not give bluedot a try its a very slow burning powder and a little dirty ... charlie

ja this sounds like a really good lite loads...i will try this load sounds like a good squirl load...and i bet with little recoil...i will shoot this in a broken stock parker i fixed a while back...just could not bear the mild loads i have shot in it...thanks charlie

I'm shooting just an 1oz in my 10ga with 18grs of 700x, Remington SP10 wad and a 20ga paper cushion inside for filler. S.B. also list the same [ 18 or 19grs ] with an 1 1/8oz of shot. Kills them clay birds nice out to 45 yds with Mod chokes. Paul
