- - 2 7/8" 10ga Reloading Data (https://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=6282)

It has been awhile since I have seen any new data but thanks to Mark Garrett and Craig Larter we have three new loadings, two of them for Bismuth, for the Short Ten. Remember many of these loads use obsolete components and data that is several decades old. I suggest you verify the data when possible and as always remember you proceed at your own risk.

10 ga. 2 7/8" laoding data

Hello
Where can I find and download your data on 10ga. reloading?

Thank You

Frederick

Please note I have given credit to the person who started the spreadsheet and shared it with me as well as citing the source of the information, some of it from the 1960's. Not all components are available today but I think the data is interesting and useful. It is obvious a variety of Alliant and IMR powders will work in the short ten. I thought it was interesting Hercules (forerunner to Alliant) did not bother to list hull type or primer type nor chamber pressure in the 1968 guide. You will need to zoom this to 200% to read it easily, I had to shrink it to keep my format in tact.

If you run across any other published loads please let me know about them and I will update this. Enjoy.

Make that, attached to my most recent post. I deleted the previous versions of the spreadsheet and uploaded the most recent addition with the new loadings in my post here of 7/18/15 at 1:24PM.

Hello Rick
Thank You for the response.

I guess I am brain dead. I don't know how to get to the file and then see it to download it. Would you assist a grayed haired old man in this regard?

Thank You

Frederick

Are you on a windows PC?
Assuming you have a PDF reader (if not ADOBE READER is a free download at adobe.com )

Just click on the attachment and it will offer you a choice to read or save

Pick the save option and a copy will be stored on your computer in the downloads folder

Hello OH

Wow. This is the first time I saw the file on the post. Wonder why it wasn't showing up before? Yes I have downloaded it. Super. Thanks for the help. I will need to enlarge it somehow.

Thanks Again

Primerbuster Here.

Just got some Bismuth for short 10 waterfowl loads, shot is more like fine gravel than typical round shot. Several sizes and shapes, mostly tear drop shapes.
Anyone have this experience with Bismuth?

Hello Scott
Yes Bismuth shot doesn't look very symmetrical, but boy does it shoot well and throws a dense pattern. It penetrates much better than steel as it is more dense!

Hope this helps!

FWIW , a couple months ago I found out that Ponsness Warren WILL make a new LS-1000 10 gauge 3 1/2" machine into a 2 7/8" machine for the measly extra cost of $30 !
