I might see going to 33 or maybe even 35 grains but 45 grains-29 grains Unique sounds right and Unique in a 10 gauge is right around the Herco range.

You are welcome, I just double checked the spreadsheet against my cited sources of that loading data, the 1968 and 1970 Hercules Reloading guides. The amount of Herco stated is correct as published in those guides. I believe those powders have changed since that was published and I put a note in the sidebar in red advising that I would reduce these charges by 15 to 20%. Perhaps advising a reduction by 25% would be more prudent.
