What distributor or dealer has 2 1/2" 20 ga. Target loads , 8 or 9 shot 3/4 or 7/8 oz? Who has best price?
Need several flats.
I see RST and Polywad show them. B&P doesn't. any ideas, input?

need them for my recently restocked C grade Sterlingworth done by Dan Rossiter.
Photos will be posted in the upcoming week or so.

Give RST a call, they will deliver to your door.

except in NEW YORK

I am an FFL Dealer also

anyone know if these are light loads. My 20 Ga Fox has 2 1/2" chambers. I don't want to beat it up.
FIOCCHI AMMO 20ga LITEd 3/4oz 1075fps #7.5 250/cs

Item Number: FC20LITE75

The standard 20ga skeet load of 7/8 ounce @1200 fps generates 14 ft-lbs of free recoil energy in a 6 lb gun.

A load of 3/4 ounce @ 1075 will generate 9 ft-lbs in the same gun.

At 2/3 the recoil energy, I'd say that's the definition of a "light" load.

Pressure is immaterial. Let me say that another way....whether it's 11,500 psi or 5,500 psi doesn't make one iota of difference to the gun. If anyone is inclined to disagree, I'd like to hear the hear the scientific argument.

Mike, if pressure is immaterial, why bother with overpressure loads at the proofhouses . . . or at the ammo makers here in the US?

Brian, 3/4 oz loads at speeds around 1100 fps are really nice to shoot in light 20's.

That the best you can do, Larry?

A little sophomoric to take "immaterial" out of context, even though I qualified it.

I think that maybe Mike meant that pressure is immaterial to recoil, because it is.

Recoil is the force generated as the reaction to launching X payload weight at X velocity from a gun of X weight.

Chamber pressure and velocity do not directly correlate.

While we're at it, let's put that "high brass" and "low brass" crap to rest also. No correlation to chamber pressure whatsoever.

There are plenty of light loads that generate higher chamber pressures than you might imagine.

Noble Sport makes a 3/4 oz 20b load. Last ones I bought were $58/flat. Hardly any recoil, but re pressure, I'm not sure. They are 70mm shells, but I'm guessing they wouldn't be a problem in your gun.
