Greg--Interesting that it works well in cold weather. And I know it gets cold where you live! Whenever I've been looking for a 1 1/8 oz 12ga pheasant load, low pressure, I've used one with Unique, Gold Medal hull and Fed primer, Federal 12S3 wad. Right off the Alliant website. About 1,000 psi hotter than yours, but also very reliable on cold weather pheasant hunts.
