Pressure Test for 19gn Red Dot

[Craig Larter]

OK I would like try and test Unique for 1 1/8oz low pressure 10ga target loads. I think I will start with 25gr. Hoping for less pressure versus red dot. Opinions?? Craig

Craig I do not understand your desire to achieve a lower pressure load for the short ten than you have with these tested Red Dot loads. They are period correct loads that will not harm a sound composite barrel gun. Loads with pressures lower than these (especially the Federal hull load) is risking the possibility of squib loads especially in cold weather. When you are in the field it is heartbreaking to have a good shot only to have the shell fail when you pull the trigger. I can attest to these Red Dot loads in the federal hull working well in very cold temps, I use them crow hunting in January - March each year in temps in the low teens.

As I stated in an earlier post, and has been restated by other posters, the Red Dot loads will not damage any good condition ten gauge and eliminates all cold weather performance problems that you could get with slower powders.
