The reason for my inquiry about the 1 3/4" short shot shells is because my Parkers have Twist & Damascus barrels and though I'm having Breck Gorman evaluate them both, I'm planning on staying with low pressure shells.

As we know RST is for the most part "out of stock" until Sept., and their shells are pricy for my budget so I decided to reload/make my own 1 3/4" shorties.

I dug out my 5th Edition Lyman's Shot Shell Reloading Handbook and am checking out the charts for "low recoil" loads. So far it looks like 16-17 grains of powder with a 7/8 - 1 oz load will keep the fps below 1100.
