Does any one have loading data or direct for using .690 RB in a 12 gauge?

A mild load to start off with:
WAA Hull
W209 Primer
26.5 Grains of Herco OR 25.5 Grains of Unique
WAA12 or WT12 Wad
Ball
Last batch chronographed @ 1,323 FPS avg.
I've loaded several different .690" Ball loads, along with some .690" Ball + 00 Buck. The above load is fairly accurate, mild recoil (even in light, single-shot guns) and has enough whack to do serious damage at the receiving end.
Cylinder Bore through Modified chokes.

Was that 2 3/4 or 3 inch?
What is the weight of the .690 RB?
Thanks,
Jerry

2 3/4".
Weight depends on the casting metal I'm using. Pure lead, ~493 Grains. Wheelweight, last ones I weighed were ~481 grains. I cast with both melts, usually with the wheelweight.

Nova,
Try this load:
WAA Hull
W209 Primer
28 Grains of Unique, this a little warm
WAA12
WW Ball. lightly powder with Mica dust.
I based this on what 45 Colt posted, it works in my 870.
