Egad. I've used this load for so long I can't even remember where I got it. But I never get close to published maximums in any double gun load. I just checked Hodgdon's site and they list this load as a "max" with 3/4 oz in STS cases so mine should be well under:

Hodgdon Universal Win. 209 PC28 13.5 12,400 PSI 1,200 fps

And I apologize. I've since shifted to Claybuster wads with no detactable trouble/differences.

I have used published 28 gauge loads from the Alliant and predecessor books for probably 40 years using Unique powder. When I came up with a 4 3/4 pound 28 gauge Francotte, I used the same load I had been using for skeet competition, but with just over 1/2 ounce of shot with a bit of filler and no change in the powder charge. I have 16 pounds of Unique, which is enough for the rest of my forseeable life. If I had some RST empties, I would use this powder and loads.
