I was speaking with an employee of RST very recently about their 10ga offering. They are now using a Spanish imported powder with very similar characteristics to 7625. The powder is not available to reloaders yet. I also believe they are considering the10gas cheddite hull.

I have seen the 10 Ga. shells that you have. You are right, those shells are "prettier than girls." Me thinks you could kill a coyote with the 1 1/4 Oz. load of BBs. inside of 50 Yds.

I contacted RST yesterday and they said at times they use a Federal hull, but right now they are using Cheddite. Looks like my source and I were both correct. Hope that clears it all up.

A Vintager friend of mine was chatting with Morris I think at the Vintage cup last month . Anyway he told me Morris told him that he had a couple tons of whatever this new powder is coming as we speak !

He also implied to me Morris planned to use the new powder the same as I use SR7625 , by that I mean in most all moderate loads for the 10 , 12 , 16 , 20 and possibly 28 gauge .

If what was implied to me is correct and this new powder becomes available I see myself switching over to it once my supply of SR7625 runs out .
