As a follow up to this discussion, I had a load tested this week that I mentioned above. It is 30.0 grs of Longshot powder, a Claybusters substitute for the Winchester WAA12R wad, a 1/2" dry, 16 g fiber wad inside the cup, and 1.2 oz of #5 lead or Bismuth. followed by a card wad and roll crimp in a 2.75" Cheddite hull (new). It averaged 1227 fps and 4100 PSI. This was quite a bit less than I expected ((1300 fps @ 6000 PSI), but he explained that the roll crimp would drop 500-1000 PSI and the fiber wad would easily account for another 500.

All I can say is that it drops ducks dead extremely well.
