I am aware of the Fiocchi GP #5 load. Does anyone know of another factory loading with lead #5s? These would see use in a Citori and a ‘58 Sweet Sixteen.

Herters is apparently producing them, Fiocchi may have more than one load unless they're just repackaged GP. Federal is in with a PF loading.

Cabelas Herters brand 1 1/8 oz 5's. About half price of Rem Win etc. Believe they rate them at 1285fps.

I shoot a 1960 Sweet Sixteen here in South Dakota for pheasants. I love that gun. 26" vent rib barrel choked IC. I use both the Fiocchi GP #5 and the Federal Premium PF #5. I've had excellent results with both loads. The Federal load is a little over 100 fps faster and I think hits a little harder.

I use the Federal PF loads for turkey, in 5's. They are VERY stout.....1 box has lasted for years and still have some. Not pleasurable in a 90', likely be ok in an automatic.

Thanks for the links and replies. I will pick up a box of the various options for some testing.
