Short 10-searching for some data beyond the spreadsheet
Well folks, I have poured through all of the data I can find and am still looking for a couple things. I am about to develop loads if I can not find anyone else who has, but figured I would ask here first. No need in spending money pressure testing ammo if the same has already been done. Two things I seek: 1 5/8 oz. lead shot data with WW plastic base hulls using Longshot and the SP10 wad instead of the gas seal+fiber wad+ shot wrapper combo. The second item is a load of either 1 1/2 oz. or 1 5/8 oz. of BUFFERED lead using the above components.
I want loads that would be acceptable for damascus barrels, therefore lower pressures are desired and should be achievable with these components. High velocity is not a concern and actually somewhat counterproductive to my goal of efficient long range patterns. If anyone has done this, please share what you have learned. If not, I will eventually update this group with my findings and pressure testing data. Thank you. |
Mr Stephenson, have you utilized the Search function on this forum? It's one of the tabs at the top of the page here. I highly recommend that you become an Annual Member in order to fully benefit from all the previously published methods, recipes and data on the short ten gauge loads.
Best, Dean . |
Peter has done a great job of keeping the spread sheet updated with known loads and those loads some of us have developed and have had tested
when looking for a load using a short list of components - you maybe be limiting yourself to working one up and having it tested, I haven't seen that to be a big expense especially considering the peace of mind it gives me about retaining my digits on my left hand |
I know it's a lighter payload of ITX10 but it's close to the same volume of lead that you're looking at. Maybe you'll find that data point useful.

Looking at that ITX10-2 test load again and the space taken up by different shot types.
600 gr (1-3/8 oz) of ITX10-2 is the same volume as 636 gr of Bismuth #5 and 765 gr (1-3/4 oz) of Lead #5 If I was going to send in a new lead load to test, I'd probably try something around 26-28 gr. of Longshot under your 1-1/2 or 1-5/8 oz payload. |
