I also shoot a ten and reload Sherman Bells lowest pressure, also BP in Rocky Mtn Cartridge brass.

pete the list just keeps getting longer...i believe the light is shining brite on the old ten... charlie

Our good friends Morris Baker and Jill and Alex Papp are pretty happy too.

That's right John. He used Hodgdon Clays and 700X for the one oz loads which is hotter or faster burning than the SR7625 which was used for the 1-1/8 oz loads.

Good point, Carl. We don't want to use a powder in "the big hole" that would give marginally low pressure even in the smaller 12 gauge hole. 700X is an example of a correct burning rate for one ounce loads in either gauge. 7625 might be OK for one ounce 12 gauge loads, but maybe a little slow for the bigger hole, especially in winter. Some low pressure loads look good on the charts, but don't "sound" too good on a cold winter day. On a related subject, a couple of years ago, I did some freezer testing on the lowest pressure RST loads. I was unable to find an "off sound" or bad performing example. I can only say "How do they do that?

I shoot a DH 10, 32"resleeved gun, a DH 10, #6 frame hammerless with 36" Damascus barrels and a DH #6 frame hammer gun with 34" Damascus barrels, all redone by Turnbull. I load full brass shells done off a CNC machine with 116 grains of BP (English proof load) and fill the rest of the shell to the the top with shot.
When you connect It will knock a Canadian Honker backwards and is about the only gun I can consistently break ZZTrap with. And as usual it looks like Gettysburg after a good shoot.
10's are fun.

Wow! Some nice guns you have.

I dug up some RST 10 gauge Nice Shot. Actually, a few boxes, so I should be set for a few hunts this season. Hopefully next season, Nice Shot will have their issues worked out.

Tx.
They were junk when I got them. It was a treat getting them back on line in great shooting condition.

Quite an impressive group of 10's you have.

Pretty stout loads too. This is about 4 1/4 dram black powder load. 2F or 3F? When you say you fill the rest of the hull with shot, how much we talking here?

Love shooting black myself in the 5 frame hammer with 34" barrels. It's fun and it never gets old.
