What is hard to find is the Remington SP12 wad which was ideal for this load with Herco.

Last batch I used the CB1114, 26.5 grains of WSF and a true weighed 1 1/4 oz of #5 nickel plate. WSF selected for stack height in a AAHS. It still requires a bit of wad pressure.

They run 1230 +/- a little over the chrono.

Major benefit is the birds seldom run. Chasing running pheasants is for kids, and I'm no longer one.
