seeking some opinions

[Rodney Short]

hi gang, i just got my parker NH 10 gauge with twist barrels, on a #3 frame, gun weighs about 8-9 lbs i have some powders here im wondering if i could use in it

Also have rem sp 10 wads, now i have loaded a few and fired 32gr of 4756
and 1 1/4oz lead, worked great

i have the following powders at my disposal

unique
herco
blue dot
red dot
2400 alliant and "hercules"

just wondering if any of these would be ok for the short 10g loads?

one chap mentioned 30gr of herco and the sp10 in the rem hulls i have
i have 4 lbs of red dot here, i use in 12g trap loads, also unique ive used in 12 gauge loads

any info from members would be great, also want to make up some 1oz loadings for upland shooting, my gun has 1 barrel cylinder, one barrel full choke, barrels are 30"

PM me your email address and I will send you a PDF of loads.

Check out the thread just before this one called once fired remingtons. See J B Books thread. You will find an attachmet for sherman bells loads that should be usefull. Probable best if you dont go off on your own. Changeing componants around can be dangerous. Most of these guys know what there doing and can give much better advice than I can.

All of your powder except the 2400 can be used for some ten gauge loads. Red Dot for very light loads at slow velocities, Blut Dot for heavy shot loads at normal velocities and higher. Unique and Herco are in between. I have always felt comfortable using loads similar to twelve gauge loads with the same purpose in mind. The pressure will be a bit lower in the ten gauge hull and barrel, but not by an excessive amount.

Thanks for the info, however I'm sending gun back to gent I bought
It from,as a crack was found in right barrel about 1/4" long 11"
From muzzles, I'm very dissapointed, the barrel had been bulged
And pushed back down, I placed a piece of clear scotch tape
Over area and fired it, there was gas that was aped and disco red
Tape, and raised tape slightly, he mentioned his gunsmith could tig
Weld it? I'm unsure of its durability after , it'd a shame
The gun is ex cond otherwise

if the man doing the welding knows what hes doing it will be ok...i would not be scared to shoot the gun after its fixed.thats my opinion... charlie
