See, that's what I was talking about, and I know others will chime in. I got the GD load from a post by Mike Campbell--I may try reducing the GD. I also use 15.5 gr 20/28 with the CB1078 wad, and 7/8 oz, and I believe it generates around 8800 psi, a pretty low 20 ga pressure for those w/ twist and Damascus barrels.

Harold, I think you know my favorite load is the 14.5gr. 20/28 one right off the Alliant website. I've tried Unique, GD and International and by far
( for me at least), the 20/28 load was the mildest in recoil. Just looking at the Alliant webite for 3/4oz., 20ga. loads, 20/28 has the lowest listed pressure. It breaks targets and cleanly kills birds far better than you would expect.... but then again it's basically a 28ga. load in a larger bore.
