Anyone have experience with the low recoil offering?

They claim to be loaded to "moderate pressure" and "suitable for vintage firearms."

Many years ago I bought a very large quantity of the B&P High Pheasant (sure miss those) and as that supply is dwindling i'm investigating the other options.

I also still have a few flats of the 2 1/2 inch low pressure Eley loads but those don't seem to be available anymore either.

Happy to hear about other lower pressure offerings besides RST. Nothing wrong with RST just like to know the various options.

Thanks.

I bought a flat last year of the 3/4 oz and the 7/8 oz.
I have shot the 3/4 oz in my 12 gauge Dickson that weighs in at 6 pounds.
Very pleasant shells to shoot.

I bought a couple flats last year for doves in my twist hammer gun but have not used them yet. Dealer I went to told me he couldn't get them in fast enough because the old fart target shooters loved them. All reports favorable so far.

Hey, now, I resemble that.

We not so "young fart" shooters like them as well. Tough to find and a bit pricey but easy on the gun, most importantly, and the shoulder as well. Have not tried to reload them yet, but will.

Don't you just love advertising. "Custom blended powders reduce recoil."
Reducing shot load or reducing velocity reduces recoil.

Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing

I'm gonna check them out. Thanks!

I have shot about 10 flats so far of the 3/4 oz. 2 1/2" shells in my vintage English guns and they are great. RST are not available in Canada and these are the only reasonable choice for 2 1/2" shells here. The Gamebore field loads are available but at $25.00 a box but I'm not rich enough to burn them up on clays.
I urge everyone to keep purchasing these so that they are not discontinued. Way more effective than the Winchester low recoil, low noise, 26gm in my opinion.
I have no idea what the pressure is but I'm sure it is not very high. It would be hard to generate more than 8ooo psi, even with the fastest powders in a 3/4 oz. 1200 fps 12 ga. load.

I checked with the distributor Huntstuff who said it was 6700 psi as per Kent.
