I read about someone having the tightgroup load in 20ga, 3/4 oz tested. He did not show the test page from the lab. Has anyone tried it? Many of us are running out of Greendot and looking for options.

Don't count on it ! They way of the times is astonishing , I agree , with what we haveI was at Ballistic Products yesterday and they do indeed have a whole bunch of 1lbers of 20/28. It’s selling like hotcakes - $49.99 each, plus hazmat, tax and shipping. That makes it around $480 for 8 pounds delivered. They still have some in stock so go nuts. I don’t shoot tons of small bore so have several years worth of powder. Maybe everything will be back to normal by then.😂🤣
This is the post I was referring to, again, the page from the lab is not copied. I have no interest in 20/28, I wanted to know if anyone had USED the Tightgroup load and how it shot.
I am looking for several shooters who used the load, found it safe and productive. He posted the load and the results of a test, but just writing it does not prove it was done.Well the OP of that thread said he’d shot some skeet with it and reported a clean burn. What more you looking for?
Don’t know if he would share the data sheet via pm, but I do understand why he doesn’t want to post it. No reason to believe he would post data that wasn’t true and accurate.
I wouldn't think the OP made up the data out of thin air. I've been shooting the Red Dot 3/4 load at skeet for the past couple years that was posted in the 3/4 thread. I've chrono'd and patterned it, works great. Tightgroup is slower than Red dot so I see no reason it wouldn't work. But if you don't feel safe stick with factory published loads.am looking for several shooters who used the load, found it safe and productive.

Thank you for posting the test sheet. How many of these loads have you shot? How do you feel about the score shot with them?
This is an internet chat site. While there is a wealth of information here, just because someone writes it, it does not mean that it is true or safe. I know of some individuals who post as if they are experts, and from personal experience with them, I can assure you they are not. I plan on trying the load. I will back off 10% and chronograph it. Then work up. I have been shooting 3/4oz loads with Greendot. I have several registered 100s and 99s with the load and am back at AA. When I run out of Greendot I want a load that works as well. If it works as well, it will be welcomed, as the powder is readily available. I would never risk an expensive shotgun, let alone my fingers or eyesight, on a load that was just a post on the internet.I wouldn't think the OP made up the data out of thin air.
