Default Nitro Short 10 load

Just though I'd post this for guys with Short 10's that can handle modern pressures. I wanting a Short 10 ( 2 7/8 " ) load for My Ithaca Super 10 that is not low pressure . For good performance and good for cold weather . I wanted a good 1 1/2 oz turkey load that was some where between 1150- 1250 fps and between 9000- 11000 psi . So I sent this load to Tom Armburst for testing .

Fed hull cut to 2 7/8 "
Fed 209a primer
23 grains Hodgdon International Clays
Rem SP-10 wad
1 1/2 oz #6 lead
6 Fold Crimp .050 -.060 deep

For 5 shot string

1177, 1181, 1166, 1179, 1179 - Ave 1176 fps EV 15

11000, 10700, 9800, 11100, 10400 - Ave 10600 psi EV 1300

I also plan on using this load for non-tox using Niceshot with a reduced payload of either 1 1/4 or 1 3/8 oz

Hope someone can use it
