kent bismuth pressures?

[pamlicopintail]

Was wondering if any one knows pressures for the 12ga 2 3/4" 1 1/16oz load. would it fall in the catagory of a low pressure load?

Good read here about RST's Nice Shot and then how it compares with Kent Bismuth loadings. Bottom line is they aren't low in pressure:

Kent's TM

2 3/4 length shells, 1 3/8 oz. 11,400 psi.
2 /34 length shells 1 1/4 oz. 9,900 psi

Kent's bismuth,

2 3/4 length shells 1 1/16 oz. 9,800 psi
2 3/4 length shells 1 1/4 oz. 10,000 psi

I have used the published data in the precision reloading bismuth manual for years for my standard weight 12ga Foxes and my 12ga Parker damascus guns. Remy STS hull, fed209a, imr sr-7625 23grains, Rem sp-12, 1 1/8ox #5 bismuth. It develops 8700psi in the remy sts hull and 7800psi in the winy AA hull both at 1200fps. Craig
