I have Promo but I'm struggling with it to get a 1oz load that cycles my sons automatic with him shooting it. IMR 700x, Alliant E3 and hodgdon international all work good. The Promo, not so good... Actually, I'm saving it for my 1oz loads from my Browning pump or 1 1/8 loads for my automatic. It works good for those two, and 7/8 loads for my pump... But I shoot a fraction what he shoots so I need powder for him.

I use 19gr PROMO, Pink claybuster wads, AA hulls with 1oz of #8, never a problem through my almost never cleaned Benelli

I know what you're saying... I shot a round of sporting clays last fall. We both used my shotgun but had to use different loads. I used a 1oz load but he was able to shoot 7/8 load all day long with no problems. He was over 300 lbs and was a very solid platform where I weigh 180 and moved too much with the recoil so hulls would fail to eject. My gun and my sons are inertia actions.

I've seen that before, but more often with handguns.

Yeah, !'ve seen auto handguns limp,wristed and they jam often. It's pretty much the same with light weight upper bodies and inertia action shotguns. There seems to be a different recoil pulse with Promo and Red Dot than 700x, International or E3 and lighter loads with those powders will reliably cycle the action with him shooting. And of course, I find this out when there is a shotgun powder shortage...

French models have issues with limp wrists and firearms :mrgreen:

Slack jawed faggots! My favorite line from the movie Predator.

Stopped in at the gun shop I get most of my powder from... shelves have about 1/4 of the normal 8lb selection and 2/3 of the 1 pound selection. Nothing I was interested in though.

Were any of those 8 pounders shotgun powder?
