Hi all, was looking around for some various loads and came across this one:
16ga
2 3/4" Federal Hull
Z-16 wad
Win 209 primer
24.5 grns Longshot
1237fps
6500 psi
1 1/8oz payload
Recipe is from Lymans 5th.
What concerns me is the low pressure for the amount of powder.
Just wondering about this one.
So.................what do you think?
Thanks!
Greg |

| Greg, that load specs a little too good to be true in my opinion, but Long Shot is funny and sometimes seems to defy logic. Maybe someone here has tried it. |

| I use a lot of LS and The point of it in 16 ga is exactly what you see. lower pressure to vel ratio. The load looks fine to me |
