2 7/8" 10 ga.

In my Allaint hand book in a Rem shell 1 5/8oz 43.5grs BD gives 1285fps/8500psi. I'd go down a bit, maybe 40grs with a 1 1/4oz load. 1 1/4oz with 29grs of GD gives 1265fps/8800psi. Go down to maybe 26grs for a little less velocity and pressure. Good luck. Paul

After being told that Hodgdon had new 2 7/8” data on their webpage I called them Friday and asked them to send a dozen of the free data books to the shop . The fellow I spoke with said they were planning on doing some more 10 gauge 2 7/8” stuff in the relatively near future . Only time will tell .

One day next week if I can remember I'll try and call Alliant and ask them about 10 gauge 2 7/8" in their manual and inform them of Hodgdons forward thinking if they haven't . Either way I'll get them to send me a few new manuals as well if they're willing and I certainly expect they will be .

Maybe if I can lay off buying any new shotguns for awhile I'll go ahead and take the plunge !

Only problem with that's going to be me wanting to upgrade all the MEC 9000's to PW 800's as well .
