Pete, when you received Sherman's load data in Excel, were there any footnotes in regards to his use of asterisks, italics and boldface? I have the 2 back issues of the DGJ with his articles, but cannot find anything that would clue me in on his asterisks, etc.

Let's see if we can revive this thread! Has anyone tried Mr. Bell's loads? He really was adamant about pointing out the differences between the various hulls. Remington has a handful, as does Winchester. Interior construction of these different shells played a big part in ultimate load performance. I just bought a Baker hammer gun and am looking forward to putting my old 10 gauge loading tools to good use. Cheers!

Mark,
I load the Federal hull cut down to 2 7/8" with SP 10 wad with Circle Fly 16 gauge over powder cards and cushion wads, WW 209 primers and IMR 7625 for 1 1/8 oz loads and IMR 4756 for 1 1/4 oz loads. I chose the Federal hull because I could find them. I am conscious of the paper base wad and check my barrels after each shot. Harry |

I use the same loads Harry mentioned. Shot them both days at Hausmann's in my EH. They recoil like a 12 ga,crush clays like an 8ga. At the "Tower" station they were good enough to break 6 high targets in a row, and could reach across the pond to catch the run away right to left.

Mark,
I have notes pages in pdf format but they are too large to load. PM me with your email and I'll send them to you. Mark |

Harry, have you had problems with basewads actually coming loose from the hull? I would imagine that black powder is rough on the shells, but not smokeless. One of the hard basewads would make a dangerous obstruction.

Mark,
I have never had a base wad detach. I'm just aware that one might. As far as the astricks and bold type in the PDF, it is my recollection that those were the loads mentioned in Sherman Bell's articles. Harry |
