    Here in the USA we or I do not use Metric System for weights & Measures.
    In the AA Super Hdcp Hulls I use 33.5 Grs LS, RIO primer, once you use a RIO Primer you have to stay with them as Primers are Bigger, A Blue Windjammer Wad, This l;oad is Magnificent from anywhere a target can go.

    1oz lead = how many "longshot"
    1.129 oz =
    1,270 oz =
    1,340 oz =

    Thanking you in advance, Regards albert

    I used to load my 20ga hunting loads with longshot back when I still had my bird dogs. I have shot a pile of Ring neck pheasants using longshot.

    Did U ever----Pixxed off Turned golf on tv---went over to loader----needed some powder ---Shot bottle 1/2 full.
    Looked at tv for a min. turned around and -----U guessed it-----Poured powder in shot bottle----really pixxed off by now.
    thought and thought-----easy fix-----took a summer hat with the mesh----poured shot mix through the hat---
    Back to golf match----I can't walk and chew gum at the same time----Only been reloading for 50 yrs---this was the 1st.
