I want to send 1oz of lead downrange between 1050fps and 1150fps with pressures less than 7k. Any confirmed, good loads? Thank you.

(They're usually free). That way you can figure all of the different combinations. Most reloaders do. Good luck with your reloading.

Change to 13 grs. powder, Remington TGT-12 wad, 6500 PSI, and 1,025 fps. There are different loads to pick from. David

Any feedback on Perfect Pattern? I've been using it 12 grs at a time in a cheddite or similar hull cut to 2" with a BPI short shell wad, 15/16 oz of lead, and a roll crimp for 1125 fps. 6300 psi. The powder really meters nicely in any decent powder measure (I use a Redding). Very nice to shoot and great patterns.

It's dirty... your hands will be filthy after shooting. The price of it has gone up 30% since its introduction last year. Expect more of that since Hodgdon is about to become the monopoly they've always wanted to be. "The price of good shotgunnery is constant practice" - Fred Kimble
