| Thanks for the comparison. One of the clubs I shoot at brought in a bunch of Spartan; says 5% antimony, and I think your test results validate that. |

To C Grade 6 guns and fancy dogs don't make a good bird hunter. I don't think a grouse gives a hoot about what type of dog or grade gun he prefers when trying to escape a load of 7 1/2s.

| I've bought a bunch of 12g light target loads from CAC, because there's no savings in reloading them when you can buy them for $80/case. I'll still reload the other gauges though. |

his bird dog of choice is a pitbull/husky mix. The dog ranges like a son of a gun but won't point worth a darn.

Did you come across this load? I sent it in a year ago. I bumped it up to 12.4 gr, and it'll cycle my Beretta 391 reliably.
FWIW Titegroup is the same as Highgun.
