Yeah Don, that was exactly the load I started with when I was shooting Trap at the old Seattle Skeet & Trap Club while I was in college in the mid-1960s. A Federal paper hull, Federal primer, 23 grains of Red Dot, a nitro card and two Felton Blue Streak wads and 1 1/8 ounces of shot. But, the reduction in powder didn't come with plastic hulls, it came with the replacement of the nitro card wad with the little PGS (Plastic Gas Seal) wad. That dropped the charge to 18-grans for 1200 fps.
