Hi all, I was looking thru Lymans 5th and came across this recipe:
2 3/4" Federal Hull
Win 209 Primer
Z-16 Wad
24.5 grs Longshot
1 1/8oz payload
1237fps
6500psi
I loaded up a few and they loaded beautifully. You do need an overshot card to get perfect crimps.
Patterned them and they patterned very well (at least in the gun I used!). A bit tight, but not overly tight.
With the 1 1/8oz payload this should be a nice load for pheasants and prairie grouse in an older vintage gun.
Just thought I'd pass this on.
Best,
Greg
