I just blew up the spec sheet. Is the loader fellow confusing the 160 grains of "PSB" buffer listed on the load sheet with 16,000 PSI? I guess now that we know he is shooting 1 3/4 ounces plus buffer in a 12 gauge shell, the 12,500 PSI doesn't sound so "off the scale", considering one shell per turkey. I would shoot that load in a safe gun. I think the load could be brought down to SAAMI specs with a slower powder and a hair less velocity. Velocity shouldn't be critical when shooting at a standing turkey's head. The Winchester factory loaded 1 7/8 ounces of buffered lead #6 which should have a whale of a lot more pattern density in it than 1 3/4 ounces of #6 hevi-shot. I see boxes of those shells at gun shows occasionally. I would like to have patterned some of them in my old 3 1/4" chambered Fox with long .042 and .043 chokes.
