I didn't know it was possible to cram 2 1/8 oz into a 20ga

Think MOAB, as in "Mother of All Bombs, but applied to 20 ga loads.

that is a lot of pellets in one shell, I wonder if it is good for the gun?

Wouldn't think so. Twenty gauges are not meant for that kind of abuse.

Was this load pressure tested?

I would also think this load would be slow?  It takes 12 ha loads to push 2 1/8 oz to 1000 FPS?  I assume this load is a great deal slower than that?  So velocity loss equals energy loss.  Just spouting off.  But awesom pattern for sure

Yes. It was developed by Hal Abbot, who has all his loads tested by Precision Reloading.

I thought the 1 5/8 oz load kicked like a mule out of light weight 20. That is one hell of a lot of holes in that paper!  I guess the saying, "How dead do you want them" is justified right there. The 1 7/16 oz load I run kills them pretty good.

Doesn't take a 12 gauge to push it. This load runs 1163 FPS at 12505 PSI

is this a safe load ?

Definitely safe, Hal test all his stuff.   Doesn't mean it doesn't have the recoil though!
