From Lyman's I had copied a fairly low pressure load using a 3" Winchester hull. I had purchased the hulls from either Grafs or Ballistics Products and they came with Wincherster 209 primers in them. The recipe is from Lyman"s 5th Edition, using a Win 209 primer, 41.5 grns. of Blue Dot, 1 3/8 ozs shot, Win. WAA12SL wad, velocity is 1331 and the PSI is 7800. (pg. 126)

The Longrange I have has .730 bores and the choke contriction is .688 (.042) in both barrels.

This test won't be close to the original load, but to get an idea, if someone has a longrange double gun from any maker and has the componants to load the same, I wonder if this would be a good comparison? Your thoughts.
