years ago I ordered some 0000 in 10 gauge 3.5" but they never sent me the ammo . Theres another company now making 10 ga 3.5" 0000 buck but I dont currently have a 10 gauge magnum .

Ive always wanted to try loading up some lead T shot in the 10 ga , I believe BPI sells it . I know theres a good number of guys in the midwest that love the 10 gauge for predator hunting .

I was going to order 2 cases from RST last week but ended up buying a 22 mag instead lol.

The stuff with International Clays wasn’t getting consistent ignition . But the hulls I was using cane from the group of 20+ that came with the gun they’d all been fired more than a few times . So I’m thinking the hulls might be on their last legs . Gonna try a couple of the new unfired as well as change primers from CCI209M’s to WIN209’s . Gonna try International Clays again as well but just two of slugs and two of buckshot and see what results I obtain .

I found if you put a 1/8 inch over powder wad in before putting the plastic wad in this will keep the misfires from happening...I had your troubles before finding this out...charlie

Well I just loaded four with the card as you say two with slugs two with buckshot and only one of the four went off correctly. I’m of the opinion that the crimp is not stiff or tight enough because the hulls I’m using are past their prime . Tommorrow I’ll try four unfired the same way .

In the book I have with WIN hulls and the SP-8 wad he has no loads using Blue Dot . But I don't think the powders the issue or some wouldn't set off correctly and others not . I suppose I could get a roll crimper thing and try that but I don't really want to do that .


I've got the grass cut etc so other than a couple auction items my weekend is wide open so I just might get this stuff ironed out . Then I need to get a scope on top a Mannlicher Schoenauer MC rifle length 06 I bought to rob the triggers . Might set this one up with several factory loads to carry out for Damage Control when I use the 8 gauge from a ground blind . Or I might carry my 6mm-06 that's never been blooded . Anyway I need to get some stuff straight before Tuesday evening .

Okay just loaded a pair of the slugs with International Clays as well as filling the bottom cavity with wax and a nitro card in the bottom of the shot cup for proper height . Also loaded two more with sixteen 00 buck pellets and buffer again with International Clays . All four are in brand new unfired hulls with WIN 209’s . They look nice but let’s see if they boom correctly
