2-Fed hull, exactly the same components except 30 grns 7625 for 1084fps/5800psi.

What would the effect on pressure be substituting Nice Shot for Bismuth???

Thanks, George
I don't know, substituition of Nice Shot for Bismuth does not make sense to me when the folks at Nice Shot tell us it can be substituted for lead in any published lead recipe BUT you must add an additional 1500 psi to that lead recipe when using Nice Shot.

Given that, why would you not choose one of the Sherman Bell recipes for lead using a Rem hull and SR7625 powder? I see some on the 10ga spreadsheet that would be about 8000 psi using Nice Shot (and that is with a folded crimp).
