Skeet Load

[Kirk Mckinney]

Thanks Paul I will look into that. I only shot it once when it came from Artemis Outfitters. That was RST Shells one down each barrel. I wanted to test it on a factory load in case something happened, it wouldn't be because of my reload. Everyone knows RST are reputable 1st class loads for vintage guns. It patterned great with their 1 oz load . I planning on going to the range just as soon as this rain here in Texas stops. I will take a look in the barrels after a few shots for un-burnt powder. If anything from 7k to 8k is safe I have been way off track. Thanks Again

For the past 15 years I've put tens of thousands of my 12-gauge, 7/8 ounce, 1200 fps, reloads through my 1937 vintage Fox-Sterlingworth Ejector Skeet & Upland Game Gun. I feel 7/8 ounce is light enough in the 12-gauge with little to no recoil and good skeet patterns. My load is a Remington STS hull, Remington 209P primer, 16.4 Grains of Clays, Remington TGT12S wad (or CB equivalent) and 7/8 ounce shot. About 6300 psi according to the Basic Reloading Manual. For nostalgic smells I do a 7/8 ounce, 1200 fps, load in Federal papers.
