You are welcome, I just double checked the spreadsheet against my cited sources of that loading data, the 1968 and 1970 Hercules Reloading guides. The amount of Herco stated is correct as published in those guides. I believe those powders have changed since that was published and I put a note in the sidebar in red advising that I would reduce these charges by 15 to 20%. Perhaps advising a reduction by 25% would be more prudent. |

Those may be perfectly safe loads for all I know though. I'm with you on the reduction in charge to start with though. Once again, thanks for getting all this stuff together. I'm going to be using at least one of these in 1-5/8 oz. this spring for my turkey hunt. |
Hey has anyone tried the 33.3 gn longshot load with SP10 and nice shot or any other longshot load with nice shot? I want to load up 10 of these and try them on waterfowl. They said pressure is 8780...it's a bit hotter then what I wanted....suggestions please...all comments are very welcome...
I am asking about longshot as I have an entire container begging to be used. |
I use that load with 1 3/8 oz Nice Shot. The #2's are devastating on Canada geese well past 50 yards!

managed to get my hands on a supply of Federal Hulls and have loaded some of these, now all I need is geese
|
Fantastic.. already cut my 10 gauge federal halls this evening I'll start loading them tomorrow. Any recommendations to roll Or crimp? again, I am using the SP10 wads

The other issue is the nice shot itself. Wonder when or if they will return to production

Now, I am really starting to get excited.....:) |
Heavy Shot + wad recommendations
I wanted to load up some of those Sherman Bell Loads but have Heavyshot. I didn't want to wipe out the barrel and also don't see any loads listed in the Bell loads for heavy shot. This is for a 10 ga. 2-7/8 Remington Double.
