In my (obsessive) search for the ultimate pass shooting Goose load one from the last batch came out looking pretty good and thought the Low Pressure crowd might find useful so thought I'd share. Probably burn a little dirty but still an option if shooting older/LP shotguns.

Ched/Hert hull, W209, 24g Steel powder, .125" nitro card, BP12 w/4 full length slits, #40 seating pressure, .25" 12ga felt, 1.125oz BB (BPI) Bismuth, 25gr PSB buffer, 2 wax (DIY milk carton) OSC, roll.

PR tested....

FPS PSI
1281 8760
1248 7300
1255 7690
1272 8110
1251 7580

AVG's
1261 7888

SD
14 568
EV
33 1460

Haven't printed this particular load, but, a faster higher pressure version of this prints 63/65 pellets on a 36" square paper @38y w/55 very core dense in a 20" circle (used a 20" bike tire to draw the circle) though a 28" BPS & Trulock Turkey choke. The XF choke printed similar #'s but not as core dense as the Turkey. Guessing a slower low pressure version might print/shoot a little tighter, guessing.
