Hi, first I want to think everyone for there help on my other questions. I was given a 1924 Ithaca Flues double barrel 12ga. It had some broken and missing parts, I have replaced or fixed all the parts. It is now in perfect working order. I was thinking about using it for shotting clay pigeons with friends. I know I need to use low pressure shells, does anyone know a good factory load to use? Thanks for all the help.

RST Vintagers are a good choice. Roll your own is also a good choice.

The Winchester 2 3/4" Featherlight load was tested by Sherman Bell and was an acceptably low (less than 6000psi as I recall)pressure load for many older guns. My personal experience in shooting this load in a 2 5/8" chamber damascus gun was that the recoil/muzzle blast was very inconsistant as well as the percieved velocity during skeet shooting. So, I'd not recommend this load, but it seems to be a 'safe' load for your uses.
