I had to laugh. I was just signing on to ask about the bottom 2 loads.

I get a weekly email from BPI and the bottom 2 loads you've listed are described a low pressure loads:

I was also wondering how these loads worked for people.

I need to join the low pressure reloading group.

If you go out to my website and link to the 16 gauge loads, you will find a lot of low pressure loads. I just updated it this week and put a lot of low preesure loads on there. You have to go thru the listings to find them. I just tied out this load in my 16 gauge 48 sportsman modified barrel at 40myards and it gave me a good pattern and recycled the shotgun.

I have never used Titewad before. I have seen smaller payload data for it before. Just never used it.

I have used PB but not in those loads.

After my dove shooting exhibition the other evening, I don't need 5/8, I needed the 10ga with 1 5/8's!!!

(Maybe it wasn't the load?) Wasn't shooting a 16ga either, guess that will teach me.
