I've been loading the Remington STS green 12-gauge hull with a Remington 209P primer, 16.4 grains of Clays, Remington TGT12S wad and 7/8 ounce of shot, for nearly ten years and have been very pleased with it in all of my old 12-gauge doubles. In the gold hulls I pump it up to 18.4 grains and 1 ounce of shot for wooble skeet and sporting clays with my Superposeds.

My standard low pressure 1 oz. load is a Federal Gold Medal hull, W209 primer, 17.2 grs. Clays, Claybuster CB1100-12 wad. As I recall, this load is only slightly over 6000 psi at about 1125 fps. Very uniform. I shot a round of 5-stand with them in my "new" BE 32" Fox yesterday. I believe I could shoot it off my nose. Recoil practically non-existant.

I have used a lot of 7625 over the years, too, but always remembered the warnings about low temps and just never tried them much under 50 degrees.
