This is so nice...
I believe I have a similar pistol version of that kit, which is a CVA. Somebody gave it to me 28 years ago, and it's a total mess. I think it'll fire again someday though, once I rebuild the whole thing.
Anyhow it's in a drawer in pieces, and I'd completely forgot about it until you posted those photos. I'll have to dig it back out soon.
My buddy loaded them. He wrote the specs on the boxes, and I wrote the velocities on the box flaps, and gave it all back spent to be loaded again. So anyhow, I don't have the specs anymore.
I told him to make me up some 150 grn wussie loads so the kids could shoot the Mossberg more easily, but I was hoping for even slower: around 1500 fps with a 150 grn slug would probably be manageable.
Normally I'm shooting 170s at about 2200, from a 16" carbine.

What are you loading? The velocity looks a little low to me. . . .
