The Federal hull is better suited for decent payloads of shot--switch to the Remmy black for those light loads and I would also go with Unique  |

The low pressure group has done many tests on the Federal hull but not with the SP16 wad. Federal hull, 1 oz., Univ Clays 22 gr, Fed 209A, SG16 Wad, 8,200 psi, 1220 fps. This from 96 Hodgdon.
Best,
Ron |

Actually, Unique and Universal clays are so close in burn rate as to ignore the difference. However, the two throw a bit differently and require different powder bushings.
As for the 7/8 ounce load, I'd switch to Green dot or International clays. They are both a bit faster, cleaner, and will give more uniform ballistics in this lighter load. |

NO NO NO
You need to contact RWG and join the low pressure group or at least get a copy of Chuckerman's loading data before you blow your sweet old Sterlingworth all to hell. |
