OK I will come out of the closet. File this under made up load for the 2 7/8" 10ga; Federal hull, Win 209 primer, 22grs Green Dot, SP10 wad, peel a sliver off (1/16 to 1/8") of a .50 16ga or 20ga fiber filler wad and put largest part inserted inside SP10 wad, 1 1/8 oz of shot. Star crimp. Pull, bang, dead bird and often it's a long way out there.
Disclaimer - I am an untrained unpaid non-professional ballistician who has not had a gun blow up on him in 35 years of making shotguns go bang. The above load is not in any reloading manual nor pressure tested but it works good for me. Your results may differ (but I doubt it).
