Will try 1 1/4 oz loads for a starter, then maybe 1 3/8 &/or 1 1/2 loads Any one have any experience with these components. Would try Blue Dot or Longshot or Fed hulls but they seem to be non-existent. Hopefully results will be similar to lead loads.

The information I found on line and advice received here is the nice shot raises pressure about 1500 psi. So if you work with some of the lowest pressure loads you can work up from there.
A roll crimp is thought to reduce the pressure some 500psi or possibly more over a star crimp, so that may be a way to mitigate the increase a bit.
BTW, I checked out of the way shops and bought some Federal turkey loads at a reasonable price (for today anyway), dumped the load, cut them down and loaded them for short loads. I saved the copper plated 6's to reload in the spring
