went out to the shed and loaded up all the loose 10 ga hulls i could find...only found 14 hulls...i got the scales set at 19 grains then i hand loaded the 14 hulls..went by the book except i chose to use steel shot instead of lead im getting short on lead supplys...i used steel bbs...they weighed 1 ounce even i used a open bore 10 ga clayborughs and brothers gun a hammer gun weighs in at 8 1/2 lbs..did not pattern them just shot up in the trees...this is really a soft on the shoulder load and good on the gun...the report of sound was really good...i believe this to be the best light load ive ever fired in a 10 ga and it really has a clean burn...pete you gonna really like the 19 grain load...i will pattern them tommorrow its raining here at the momment...this is the way to get a lot more loads out of a pound of powder..if your on a budget like me this is the way to go... charlie
