Shotgun powders can be used between about 1200fps to 1600fps using a 180gr cast bullets. Just check out the ADI manual. Or email them.

Yes seen that, read it everywhere. All I can say is, the right powder choice is critical. The guys I have been shooting these loads with have been doing so for 30 yrs....or more, never had a problem ever. Go figure.....Beer is great, how do they make it so cheap??
