Low pressure powders
I haven't purchased powder in quite a few years, and recently found out 7625 and PB are no longer available. What are you gents using for a substitute? I found some old data in the 4500psi range with Solo 1000, but nobody seems to have any of that either. I emailed the powder companies and got nowhere.
The load I was shooting was 1oz in a AA hull at 1100fps at 4400psi with 7625, and I'd like to stay in that pressure range. I haven't shot the old gal much in several years, but would like to start shooting some casual clays again.
My gun is a #1 frame 12ga GH with damascus barrels built in 1903. Kirk Merrington of Kerrville, TX did some barrel and action work when I bought the gun, and gave the green light for shooting. I just want to go easy on it.
Thanks,
Rick
