It'll be interesting to learn what wad/hull combo that recipe has in it.
That info I know - Cheddite hulls trimmed to 2-9/16" with the BPI SG-16 wad. I started with new pre-primed hull ... |

High pressure grease works really well, stays put even under high loads and lots of cycles. The food grade kind doesn't stain things like anti seize does. |

I recently ran through a round of trap using Longshot. I'm not home right now so I'm not going to post the recipe I used without my notes handy.
I have not chronographed this load yet because my n ... |

Saying I have a shotgun problem is like saying Bruce Lee had a Kung Fu problem. It's not a problem when you're the best at it. |

Just curious, because I saw a beautiful Drilling the other day, SxS 16 over some Euro rifle caliber -

As alluded to above, the Rizzini Comp 16 might qualify as the queen of 16 gauge guns today. With adjustable comb option, it’s quite remarkable.

If, assuming low recoil is the main concern that's another story. FWIW, RGL's in my experience have a sharp bite to them.
I can promise you, a 2-3/4" RGL in a short chamber 2-9/16" gun ma ... |
