Default Short Ten Winchester Super Field (WSF) Loads: Test Results

I just received test results for three Winchester Super Field (WSF) waterfowl loads (using bismuth). The components are: (1) a 10 gauge Remington (green) hull (cut to 2 7/8''); (2) a Winchester 209 primer; (3) an SP-10 wad; (4) 1/4'' 16 gauge fiber filler in the wad cup; (5) 1.25 ounces of #4 bismuth; (6) one 16 gauge overshot card; and (7) a 6 point fold crimp. Load #1 has 23.0 grains of WSF, Load #2 has 24.5 grains of WSF, and Load #3 has 26.0 grains of WSF.

Load #3 hit the mark: 1204 fps @ 6805 psi. Assuming Load #3 patterns well, it will take ducks next season.

Also, as a comparative example, Load #4 was assembled the same as Load #2, but with 1.25 ounces of #4 lead (instead of #4 bismuth). There is no significant difference between the bismuth load (1056 fps @ 5900 psi) and the lead load (1055 fps @ 5748 psi).

Very nice picture! Your load data is an inspiration! Im shooting a 10 ga Remington double 1894 steel 32" bbls. I have not owned it that long but she feels very similar to my Parker. Solid and robust....like a bigger brother. The workmanship in these fine old guns is second to none.

Thank you for sharing.

How are you metering the bismuth, by weight or volume?

Can’t answer your question, as I don’t know. I do know that WSF is Winchester Super Field.
