I do not recall the exact load now, but it was taken DIRECTLY from DuPont's handloaders guide, no component substitutes. I fired several of them after loading & they were fine & gave good patterns. While I normally did all me squirell hunting with .22LR's prior to the duck season I did take the shotgun out & shoot a few squirells. These loads were just like Ma Beel, they'd reach out & touch someone. Then came that day in the duck swamp, same batach of loads, all loaded just alike, They weren't lacking powder. Only difference I am aware of was I had shot those squirells in shirt sleeve weather, we had to break ice across some open water to get to the timber in the swamp. Even back in the woods the water was about a ° from freezing. Under those conditionss the 7625 just didn't cut it. I do recall they were put up in REM SP hulls, Power Piston Wads & CCI primers. Perehaps other components would have made a difference, but these were from the Book. 1Ľoz shot @ about 1150fps & 7K psi.
It should be easy to understand Why I am leery of these types of slower powders @ 5K psi when it didn't work for me @ 7.
Take this all for whatever its worth to you, I was just throwing out for an apparent newbie to these types of low pressure loads to be aware of possible shortcomings. I see no reason to retract any of it.
