Will try 1 1/4 oz loads for a starter, then maybe 1 3/8 &/or 1 1/2 loads Any one have any experience with these components. Would try Blue Dot or Longshot or Fed hulls but they seem to be non-existent. Hopefully results will be similar to lead loads.

FWIW my short 10 load is ,
REM or Federal hull
REM SP-10 wad
30 grains SR7625
WIN or CCI 209
1 1/4 ounce lead shot
I also put a 16 gauge 1/4" wad in the bottom of the SP-10 wad and a card overshot wad on top the shot before putting the crimp .Mine are all 6 point folded crimps by the way . Without the overshot cardthe crimp caves in a bit kinda like some folks 410 skeet loads .
I found this same setup without the 1/4" or overshot cards works well with eight 000 Buck , twelve 00 Buck , sixteen #1 Buck or twentyeight #3 buck .
The buck loads are closer to 1 1/2 ounces then 1 1/4 ounces but they pattern very well in all three of my guns . Oh yeah I do not add buffer . I tried it with the first 00 Buck loads and saw no improvement over the unbuffered loads .
I'd like to take credit for the original load but to be totally honest I got it out of a "Reloader Magazine" from a Ross Seyfried article written maybe 10 years ago . He has a gun that appears to be identicle to my W&C Scott . Although he hadn't made mention of the buck loads . He stated he used it with birdshot namely #2 , #6 and #8 .
