[6pt-Sika]

I have an W&C Scott hammerless circa 1881 10 gauge that's been in our family for 75 years .

I initially used a Ross Seyfried load of 30 grains SR7625 SP-10 wad with a 1/8" 16 gauge card in the bottom of the shot cup , 1 1/4 ounces of shot and a 10 gauge overshot card just to keep my folded crimp flat . I've used that powder charge with bird shot , bismuth shot , buckshot and slugs (although no slugs in the Scott) and they all did pretty well .

I also used a slight variation of the ALLIANT Red Dot 18.6 grains of Red Dot , SP-10 wad , three 1/8" 16 cards 1 1/8 ounce shot and a over shot card . That load works great for skeet , trap , sporting and quail/dove .
