Received the results from Tom yesterday. So much for low pressure 
Avg pressure of 10,400psi
Avg velocity of 1258fps
Won't be using these in the old doubles. They load and crimp so nicely ... |

| I will drop down to 15.5gr of GreenDot and try them in the doubles. My guess is that this load will break the clays just the same as using 16gr. Bob |

The 20ga claybuster wads worked perfectly in RGL's cut to 2.5in. My paltry pair of 22's does not reflect the quality of this load(missed high1 on both rounds  ) Best part is that I have only one w ... |
