Low Pressure 12 ga loads

[Wild Skies]

My favorite low pressure load:

*Remington Premier STS hull
*Claybuster1100-12 wad
*Remington STS 209 primer
*19.5 grains IMR PB powder
*7/8 oz. Magnum shot

1145 FPS
4300 PSI

If you substitute a AA hull it will reduce the pressure to 4200 PSI. If you'd prefer to shoot 1 oz. loads with the Remington Hull, leaving the rest of the recipe the same you'll reduce the velocity to 1100 FPS and increase the pressure to 5100 PSI.

Have shot 100's of these through my Damascus and twist guns. They work great on the clays course.

Federal paper hull
Win. 209 primer
1 oz magnum shot
windjammer wad
18 gr clays powder
5800 psi, 1180 fps

Rem gun club hull

My load is similar to Robert's above. I use a full length 2 3/4" Federal paper hull and a standard star crimp. My load differs from Roberts in that I use a Federal wad and primer. Other parameters are identical. Measured pressure 6500 psi. Measured velocity 1150 fps
