Default RST data

Does any one know what kind of low pressures the RST 2 1/2" Liteloads are putting out? Particularly 20 and 16? I am studying up on recipes and RST seems to be the accepted standard.
Thanks

Call RST. They are very open & more than willing to tell you the pressures of their product.

I was told by Alex of RST that the 2 1/2" 20-ga. 3/4 oz. load yields just 5500 psi. Pretty dog gone amazing, eh?

I always wondered why they don't post their pressures on their website?

Alex told me the 1 oz,1200 fps .16 ga was 6,800 psi,7/8 oz,1125 fps=5,800 psi & the 7/8 oz spreader lite at 1150 fps=6,300 fps. The .20 ga. 7/8 oz paper lite at 1,150 fps was6,700 and the 7/8 oz spreader lite at 1,150 fps = 7,800 psi.I have used all of these loads and am very satisfied with them.I hope this helps.

They don't publish pressures because they change with some regularity.
