Hi. I have settled on 1 oz. loads for my casual skeet shooting.
I have about 500 Remington Figure 8 wads. (1-1/4 oz) left over. None of the recipes I have seen speak of underloading a wad by 1/4 oz.
For instance, 1-14 oz of #9, Rem STS hull, Rem 209P, Fig 8 wad, and 20.9 of Hodgdon International would give a nice 1200fps load.
It seems to me that dropping the load to 1 oz. would not violate the intent of the recipe and would only boost the speed a couple of dozen fps and not increase the pressure.
Your thoughts?
