[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 3936688, member: 15527"] First crow of the new year @ 96 yards - [ATTACH type="full"]335288[/ATTACH] Having 20 pounds of SR4756 on hand, I have been working on a new long range load for shooting crows and the results actually beat my favorite Longshot load. Both loads are just over 1,500 fps.. The Longshot load has a working pressure limit of 10,800 psi... The SR4756 load has a working pressure limit of 9,800 psi... With all the pattern testing being done at 90 yards using the SR4756 loads, there is an average of "6" #2 magnum lead pellets in my crow targets. And, with the crow posted above, I skinned it out after taking the picture and it had 6 holes in it! Still using the same hull, wad nitro card, shot and buffer, and changing primers and powder, the lower pressure loads seem to be more consistent, plus the felt recoil is less, making shooting prone or from my shooting table more comfortable. I also added a red dot sight to this particular shotgun, which allowed me to sight in at 90 yards, with red dot being centered in the tightest part of the pattern. Now, I don't have to guess at how high to hold. Just center the red dot on a crow and squeeze the trigger! [/QUOTE]
