Bill,

Have you patterned your load? I have used green dot in the past and it patterned well. I have heard more than once that red dot tends to produce donut hole patterns. I have recently started reloading federal paper hulls and there nothing like them. I went quail hunting about a month ago and it was a treat to be using paper hulls in my 12g 1890 Damascus GH grade Parker. I also load 1 oz loads. My load of choice is Federal Paper, WW209, CB4118, 18 grains of Clays, Chilled Lead, 1180 fps @ 5800 psi.
