Jeff, I have been looking for a 1 oz load to use on wild birds. I'll have to try and locate some Longshot, or find a 1 oz load in a 2 1/2' hull using 7625, PB, Universal, Unique, or International--all of which I have.
I have heard Longshot doesnt meter well, but I only want to load up a few boxes.

Longshot meters fine Harold. It known as "loudshot" as it is louder than normal. I've successfully loaded 3/4oz. 16's with the DR16 wad using Longshot.

I loaded up some 16g hunting shells with Longshot. Recipes came from John Davis and they work just fine.
