Default 2 7/8" 10 Guage & Nice shot

Boys, I'm begining to doubt myself. I was loading Federal hulls, 35 gr IMR 4756, WW 209 primers SP10 wad and NiceShot and had been told at a 1 1/4 oz charge bar would throw 1 1/4 oz of NiceShot. I was wrong. I have a RCBS ballance beam type scale that goes to 500 gr. The short and long of it is I switched over to an adjustable charge bar and think that a 1 3/8 oz charge bar might do just fine. I am not using the 16 gauge card as 1 1/4 oz of NiceShot fills the SP10 wad.

Harry, I use a adjustable bar on my ten reloader all the time, I bought a digital scale to double check everything, it makes it much easier to go from lead to nice shot and bismuth.

Destry,

I ordered my out of state license and trying to figure out how to stay warm. Hope you can make it.
