Question for the 10ga. Folks

[24 grams]

Wow!
That is as close to what I am looking for as anything else. The only difference is the wad.
And that the pressures we are dealing with, that should be absolutely no problem, I would think.
Tell me, how do they shoot, and what do you shoot them in?
Presumably, it’s in guns approaching 9 pounds, so the felt recoil should be negligible.
Thanks a million!

I've got a few different 10s all with Damascus barrels I shoot them in.Seems like a mild load.I haven't patterned them but shot skeet with them and worked good.The bp1044 wads will likely have a little more pressure as the crush section is somewhat stiffer than the sp10 wad.The old sp10 wads had a thinner built crush section than the newer ones do and as a result created a little more pressure also.Tom Armbrust will verify this with tests he has done for me.If you were to substitute a ww209 primer for the cheddite primer,pressure and velocity would both likely be a little lower as the ww primer is a little milder.Ive got 1 1/4 oz loads I've had tested using long shot with similar velocity but lower pressures yet.I think I've posted some on here in the past.Jeff

Could you please repost the Long shot recipe? Thanks

Here's the test I had done for 1 1/4oz. lead with longshot powder and the new bp 1044 wad.Longshot is a fine powder and the 1044 wad doesn't fit very tight in the hull so a gas seal was used to prevent powder migration.

Thank you sir.

It seems like pressure is hardly an issue in that load. In fact, a little more pressure might make it burn cleaner. Is that possible?

Looks like you won't even be able to stuff #'s 2 & 3 into the chambers but I'l bet the others will go BANG!!

They are definitely getting better.
This is number 14.

It sure seems like 1 1/4 would make a tidier reload.
Boy would that be hell on doves!

Those are new unfired hulls correct ? The crimp for me atleast isn’t the best with unfired hulls but generally it gets better the next few loadings . To make the crimp more flat in the center you can do a couple things , the first is add more displacement items until you get it up more . The second thing is an overshot card under the crimp .
