Default Loading for a Parker 10 gauge tonight:

They are all primed. Two are completed aside from sealing. Only twenty three more to go. 3-1/4 Drams of Holy Black and 1-3/8 ounces of #8 shot. A fairly light “square load” for the short 10. On a side note, I took delivery today of two flats of B&P 7/8oz 12 gauge. Natchez had a “free shipping” sale, with tax 500 rounds for a hair under $200 was as good as it gets nowadays. Too bad it isn’t that easy for low pressure 10 gauge. There is something to be said for using your own two hands to produce a quality product that isn’t readily available in the marketplace. Disregard the old LC in the photo, it just happened to be there.

I shot a round Saturday at the Flying Rabbit in Mount Crawford VA with a couple Vintagers . Anyway as seems to be typical now I was shooting 10 gauge . But it was the new to me load of Green Dot with only an ounce of shot . They broke targets well enough and recoil was negligible.

your load would set me back a bit. At 77 years old that's one stout load. I've always liked 1 oz loads in the 10 be it nitro or BP. I have home made pouring spouts for metal BP cans of powder. Made them with a unused cap and a modern rifle cartridge soldered to it. The charge can be poured into the shot mesause. Nice photo.
