Nice Shot
 
Since this stuff is supposed to have similar qualities to lead can I load it safely in Remington SP-10 wads ?

My regular 10 gauge load is 1 1/4 ounces of lead with a 16 gauge filler wad under the shot in the cup . I was planning to load the same amount by volume in the SP-10 .

Kinda wanna do in a Canada or two and a pair of quack quacks with my grandfathers old W&C Scott .

After going to Nice Shot's webpage and reading some of the reloading blog they have it seems that "regular" lead shot wads can be used with this stuff !

Next year perhaps I can cross ducks and geese off my list of critters to kill with the W&C Scott 10 .

yes you can- please also note the increase in pressure using nice shot in place of lead in a recipe.

Peter's well constructed short tens load list has a specific load for nice shot

With NiceShot you can follow recipes for lead shot but you must take in account for an additional 1500 increase in pressure since it is slightly harder than lead.

I use 33.3 grains of Longshot, Federal hull, SP10 wad, 16ga fiber wad, 1 3/8 of shot.

Since I am not a waterfowler as such is it safe to assume #2 shot will be fine for both ducks and geese ?

the no 2 shot will be fine for both...unless youre like me it seems that i can not hit anything any more i d save money by leaveing the shot out and just shoot blanks at these birds...ha...i bet that old scott will do wonders on those geese and ducks...charlie
