I just spoke to Hodgdon Tech support. They said that Ron that works there must not have been speaking about 12 gauge . He said that Longshot wouldn't work with a 1oz. That was my first question. Second that you couldn't slow it down or it wouldn't burn all the powder and would leave a wad in the barrel worst case. Not sure what shot load or gauge you were thinking but I wanted to give you a heads up. He said its a magnum powder for high velocities. Not sure what to think now. |

Gentlemen, The results are in on Bismuth and Longshot..... I had tested 2 strings tested,everything same except wads. 1 1/8 oz. of 4 shot came in at 1170 fps to 1192 fps @5700psi. to 6200 psi.....I would think that would be sufficient for ducks. What do yall think ??? Iam sure I can bump it up a little for my old Sterlingworth and still be safe if needed. Thanks for any advise in advance.
See you in the Field !!! |

I think those specs are fine
The variance is not bad. No filler in the bismuth?
