William, filler under the shot is the way to go. 16 and 20ga work the best. Any filler over the shot will blow the pattern having the effect of a spreader. Stick with the thin over the shot cards to keep your pattern, unless of course you want a spreader shell.

If you can get your hands on some SR7625 about 30 t0 32 grains of it is a good for 1 1/8 and it will take up more room than the 19.4 gr of Red Dot.

If your shot column is just a little bit short try adding a 1/2 or a whole cheerio as needed between the shot and filler wad you are using. Cheerios are plentiful and cheap, they last longer if you don't eat them while you are loading shells :-)

That's good advice. Will get some 16 G filler wads. Wish I could find 7625 but none to be had. Have Unique though will made up a dummy with30 grs see how much filler wad it needs. I have 10g thin o/s wads already.

William, I use 16ga 1/2 in fiber wads split to the thickness needed to take up the space for a good crimp. It also cushions the shot.

Carvel that's the one I have in mind. Split the wad to suit.

You'll more likely than not need to use fiber wads for a good fit.

Default 10 Ga. Powder

Hi,
Now that Solo 1250, Sr4756, and Sr 7625 have been discontinued and Clays is unavailable, what is the best powder for 10 Ga loads in Damascus barrels?
Longshot?
Regards
Preston C

Preston, I was able to get a good supply of SR7625 just for 10 gauge so I haven't looked for an alternate powder. I will start looking to see what is available. I read that Rio is in production in Texas and will be selling their powder to reloaders so maybe they will have something that will work. Hogdon certainly needs some competition. Jim

19 grains of red dot or 21 grains of green dot will push a load of 1 1/8 ounce of lead in a ten ga hull real good not much recoil and will take squirls out at 45 yards real good..look on pete lesters loads for the ten ga...it is the best loading sheet for the short ten that there is....charlie
