My pet load for my 12g damascus guns uses a full length 2 3/4" Fed paper hull, Fed primer, 17.5 gr Clays, Fed 12S3 wad, 1 oz shot, star crimp, 1150 fps, 6500 psi measured in a 2 9/16" chamber in high 70F temps. I've only shot it down to low 40's F but it worked well on SD roosters. I think the Clays is faster than other powders being used by most damascus reloaders.
