No I haven't had it tested. I got the Load from the 16 ga group on Yahoo. If the load has been tested it will say or who the load came from. My load I use is from FN16ga. He posts on the 16 ga. Society site. I trust His data. His load is 15.5 gr Greendot 3/4 oz with SG16 wad for 1177 FPS and 7400 PSI. Cheddite hull and primer.
So I use his 3/4 oz load too but bumped it up to 7/8oz and dropped to 15.3. That just happens to be what my bushing drops. I use this load in my 16 ga Fox.
For what ever reason I load both 3/4 oz and 7/8 oz. about equally. Very mild loads in my light Sterlingworth and crushes clays. I’m sure it would be good on game with the appropriate shot size for the game you hunt.
