Gents,
Apologies for dropping off all day...we're lazing away on vacation this week, and I had only books with me at the beach.
I saved an image of the Excel snippet I attempted to share yesterday, and emailed it to Dr. Drew. If that worked, he'll be along later to post it in this thread.
Not that I favor one manufacturer, or product, but someone earlier in this thread mentioned Winchester Lite loads specifically. You will note on my test sheet they came back averaging in the 8,200 range for pressure, already probably at the upper end of what one might want for a vintage double. And further, that the MAX pressure in the group was 9,200...which is only 1,000 below Remington's Nitro load average. (!!!)
Not exactly "lite" by the kind of measure one might have been thinking. While they are indeed genuinely "light" by todays standards, they probably dont warrant that designation in relation to vintage guns.
The Fiocchi's are a bargain at $74 a flat, where I found them. They market them as "trainers," but given the pressure info they clearly fit the bill [for me] for a store bought light 2-3/4 load. That was my purpose in having the test done to begin with.
For my shorter chamber guns I'm sticking with RST Falcon Lites.
