Speed? How fast is a rabbit or grouse? Seriously, if I can duplicate normal game load performance for 12 or 20 gauge, with #4 or #6 I have about 50# of each size. The #4 and #6 game loads are the most expensive now. 7.5 and 8 Skeet loads I have plenty of and are priced ok.


Rabbit and grouse are subsonic wink

Game loads are generally 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 oz @ 1250 fps in 12 gauge. Unique would be my first pick in 12 and it'll serve well in 20. Unique, Green Dot, Blue Dot, Herco and Universal fill that same slot.

Longshot is my favorite 20 gauge powder but it leans towards faster hunting loads (1,300++) in 12 gauge. If you like fast, you'll love Longshot.

Herco is my go to for 1.25 oz 12ga or 1oz 20 ga. It preforms well with any heavy load in a full length barrel.
I keep a little green dot around for light loads but it hasnt ever paterned as well.
