Advice for 3/4oz 20ga loads

[Ed Blake]

Kurt - The Hodgden website lists the "litest" 3/4 oz. load at 8,400 psi with WAA wads and Remington hulls. Not exactly as low as some 12 data, but if a gun can't safely handle 8,400 psi then it probably should not be shot IMO.... My son has shot a ton of these loads out of his BPS and they break clays as well as anything at skeet ranges. No recoil, good ignition, and a bag of shot and a pound of powder go a long way. The only issue I have had with them is it is difficult to get consistant crimps without a pea or some filler. I use WAA wads with no pressure.

I would consider an 8400 psi load for a 20 gauge to be about as low as you can go. I wonder how dirty these loads are and also cold weather performance. Anybody know?
