With his typical 12-ga at 1225 fps, BigJimP likes his loads a bit faster than I prefer. It may be he finds the hotter loads function better in his autoloaders.
I'm a Skeet shooter and don't need loads that reach out as in the other sports. And, I don't compete with an autoloader. For 12-ga, I select the loads that have given me the highest scores with consistent hard hits without considering autoloader minimum pressures. My 12-ga re-load's velocities are those associated with a 2 3/4 dram equivalent load -- 1150-1175 fps. These will function fine at 1-1/8 oz in an auto loader; but, my 7/8 oz practice loads won't cycle my old 1100.
With the 20, 28 and .410, I load at 1200 fps; but, that's a story for another day. Like BigJimP, and others, I have 4 MECs
