"for extended use....I'll be handloading.." Use Federal Gold Medal Hulls, Federal wads (12SO or 12S3) Winchester 209 primers, and IMR 7625 powder. For 1 oz loads use the SO wad with 22.5 grains of 7625 for 1150 fps @ ~5200 psi and 24 grains for 1200fps @ ~5900 psi. For 1/ 1/8 oz of shot use the S3 wad and 24.5 grains for 1150 fps @ ~6200 psi and 25.5 grains for 1200 fps @ ~6700 fps. These components are readily and commonly available. "Extended use" should be no problem. Use the IMR data.
