Short 10 recipes

[Mike Franzen]

I have a grade 2 10 ga that I would like to develop duck/goose loads for. I would like to use the components I have on hand: 2 7/8 brass hulls, nitro, fiber and overshot wads, PB powder. I will probably buy bismuth shot in BB or 2 shot size. Does it look like this can work?

Yes, no problem, good luck

[Mike Franzen]

I need some guidance of how much powder and shot to use.

look under post "10 ga waterfowl loads" post 13 #(upper right corner of post) posted on 3/31/2014, there is a load there. if you look around on "loading the short 10" post you will lots more loads, scott

[Mike Franzen]

Thanks Scott. I saw that earlier. I'm wondering if anyone has a recipe using PB. I load PB in my 12 ga plastic hulls for trap or SC. I'm trying to get info on loading it in brass hulls and using bb or #1 bismuth shot.

Hope you have more luck than I did trying to load nitro in brass hulls. Never could get enough pressure. Could you report back what works for you ? Thanks, Paul.

[Mike Franzen]

Yes Paul I'll be glad to. Could you tell me how you measured pressure? Did you have a gauge or meter or were you going by felt recoil?

You may be better to buy another powder as PB is being phased out this year .

Everything I tried was a " blooper ". That was in 12ga brass hulls and PB. Got up to 32grs and stopped trying.

BPI has a cheap handbook on loading the brass cases - don't know if it's any good or not. I believe Hodgdons bought IMR and will continue to manufacture all their powders.
