Hello gentleman,

I am not sure the pressure reported for those short shotshells are correct, let me explain:

In the Aliant reloading manual I have, a 12 ga 7/8 oz load with Bullseye powder the pressure with a plastic base wad shell is 6,300 psi, How you can reach 11,000 psi with a 5/8 oz in the Aguila minishell or even 9,200 psi with a 15/16 oz in the Federal shorty?
Is there a powder faster that Bullseye?

Just curios.
