Fibers let you cut the wad to suit stack height needed. Shorter for 1 1/4 longer for 1 1/8. No doubt stacked cards do the same thing. My Cheerio experience is same as mentioned one OK, more they want to crush on crimping.

19 Red Dot 1 1/8 oz is a great target load. Shot Clays last week with some O/U shooters I don’t know well. Asked if they objected to my Parker Hammer 10, had a O/U in the car if they were concerned. Course owner wanted to see me shoot 4 before he approved. Dusted 4 easy outgoing targets two close two long & got the OK

End of the round they all wanted to try the 10. All said it had less recoil than there 12s. May recruit some new Parker guys.

So, iv'e been using 19gr of Promo, Sp10wad, 16ga 1/2" fibre filler wad, with 1 1/8oz #8 with a paper over shot card in a federal hull.
They seem to be working very well for me, went 50 straight the last time i took the 10 out.
problem is getting SP10 wads at a good price in canada.

Charlie: You and I have the 1894 Remington. I have the 2 5/8 chambers. I am still looking for hulls,primers I can use and the proper wad, :I have red dot powder, I checked the web sites they are sold out of 10 ga hulls. Any advise would be appreciated. I ordered some 10 ga RST 2 5/8 " loaded shells.

I have a 1882 Remington 10ga, but believe the chambers are 2 3/4 after carful measurement. Either way, the shells are cut to what ever length you want. JMHO, but any mild primer will work - Rem, Win, Cheddite, or CCI. The 10ga wads from BPI are cheaper than the Remington wads and work fine. The soft 16ga 1/2" cushion wads work best for taking up space. They can be cut to whatever height you want for a good crimp. Patrick, I have a extra 50 Win 10ga once fired hulls you can have for let's say 7/8$ plus shipping. Let me know at bladesmith46@hotmail.com. Title the message " 10ga ".

Patrick that is a most generous offer from Paul. Precision has Remington 10 in stock but you will have to shorten them, they are 42.00 per 100.

I see the ad its for the 10 ga but I am not familiar with the type of base wad included?
How does that effect the typical wads used SP-10 ? or a light red dot load. I realize Id have to trim this hull to 2 5/8 length.

.250 plastic base wad
thank you
Pat

Pat I load the red dot load in the Remington hull, sp10 wad 1/2 in. hard waxed filler and it crimps well. A great way to trim them is a dowel with an exacto blade set at a slight angle. The dowel bottoms out in the hull and you cut a slot at an angle to hold the blade at the length you want 2 5/8 or 2 7/8. Paul Harm shortens his when the crimps get ragged and gets a few more out of them. Thanks for the idea Paul.

19 grs of Red Dot and 1 1/8 oz of shot is a nice mild target load but what if you want a real 10 gauge load? like 1 1/2 or 1 5/8 oz of shot for ducks and geese at longer ranges -- anyone have a smokeless load they like? I'm currently loading brass hulls with black powder and getting tired of the cleaning process.
