Is there any of this data compiled somewhere? I'm looking for loads around 6000 to 7500 psi range in 2 3/4. Any help would be great!

All the Vintage cartridge manufacturers will provide it to you.
RST, PolyWad, etc.

Of the OTC, non specialty, companies, I prefer B&P Comp1.
Low pressure, low recoil, good performance, consistency, and they always post their pressures.

They are a nice load for vintage firearms.


Out there doing it best I can.

Scroll down to the bottom here

I agree that B&P Comp One 7/8 oz. or 1 oz. are excellent shells
Competition One 24 gr. = about 7/8 oz. - 1160 fps - 5804 psi
Competition One 28 gr. = about 1 oz. - 1160 fps - 6530 psi


I also believe a vintage double that has been shown to have tight lock-up, with barrels free of defects and with adequate wall thickness, may be used with shells that generate pressures for which the gun was originally designed, with caution regarding recoil in light of the aged wood.

B & P comp 1 in 1 oz is available from Cabelas for about $75/case with $5 shipping if you buy over $99.


So many guns, so little time!

Thanks guys, I'll checkout those B&P. I was hoping to find those Winchester low recoil low noise or featherlites but no one seems to have them.

I believe the Winchester AA low noise, low recoil shells are 6200psi. Wall Mart used to carry them, you might check their website.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Brownell's still has'em. They are no longer marked "low-noise", but the Q&A section says they are the same loads.
