When i developed Load #1, seen here:

I intended it for a 75-yr old shooter using an over-under baikal 30-06/12ga smoothbore that we slugged to .727 cylinder bore. i was looking for a soft-shooting and accurate load that he could have fun with. Here is his target and commentary.

"The new loads are just great, accurate, easy on the shoulder and therefor fun to use..... Once I was zeroed in the last 10 where in the black..... This was one of the best shoots with the shot gun in ages.
Many Thanks,
DXXXXXX
Ps do you know how to lower the scope sights? It's shooting about a foot high at 25yards with the adjustment as far and I can move it to compensate?"
Since his scope is off, and we have had a discussion on shimming a scope, i imagine future groups will improve since no shots will be wasted adjusting for such enormous elevation differences.
I think this worked out A-OK. So many thanks Ajay for measuring all those ball-in-cup fits to help guide me to this load.
