I'd be inclined to try ~10.5 gr PP in a 20g AA case, CB 1075-20 wad 3/4 oz. Maybe use a Noblesport primer to keep pressures down (and my model 12 won't perf them). Adjust powder charge as needed to ge ... |

Did you come across this load? I sent it in a year ago. I bumped it up to 12.4 gr, and it'll cycle my Beretta 391 reliably.
FWIW Titegroup is the same as Highgun.

Great job! I'm looking into Vihtavuori powders because they're generally available, and I may not be able to get Alliant powders moving forward. There's a poster on SGW that's done some pressure testi ... |

That helps. I'm not looking for more than 1200 fps, so probably try 14 grains and go from there. |

Any pressure tested loads with this combination? I have other powders I can use, but I've got a lot of 700x on hand.
Thanks. |

Good info but I have switched to Hodgdon because of the high price of Alliant.
Not to mention long term availability. But I haven't found a suitable replacement for 7/8 oz in 16g RGLs and 5/8 oz 28 ... |

Have you found changes in the powders that produce higher/lower pressures/velocities?
Higher velocities, which would inevitably yield higher pressures. A newer lot of blue dot yielded muzzle velo ... |

FWIW, with all the testing that has been done with the new lots of Green Dot, the 1995 is probably ancient history, which is why it has been deleted from the newer data.
I am not saying that you sh ... |

It's the same powder as titegroup; Hodgdon gave it a new name to encourage shotgun reloads to try it. I'm using it in 12g 1 oz and 11/8 oz loads, and I made up a 3/4 oz 20g load - tested by precision. ... |

Extrapolating from available 12g 1 1/8 oz. data the burn rate probably close to green dot. Would work for loads 3/4, maybe 7/8 oz. with pressure tested data. One issue is that, (assuming it's the same ... |
