I started with Green Dot charges as high as 27 grains and 1 1/4 oz. way to much recoil for me or the guns stock. 22.5 GD and 1 1/8 oz is a fine target load. Can't imagine any good reason to charge a vintage 10 G gun with 29 grains even if the published load shows low pressure. JB used it as a baseline not a load he is shooting.
Fellow gave me some RST # 6 factory loads and they are punishing to shoot in my light Ithaca. Not so bad in the Parker Hammer Gun. And recoil is subjective, with the individual gun key. Targets am shooting 100 plus in a day easy shooting in the light gun is important. Paul's 21.5 and 1 1/16 oz looks attractive to me.
Going to work up a 10 G crow load. It's probably going to be 1 1/4 oz # 7 and a very little bit more GD than 22.5 I will be looking for about 1150 fps. I may end up with as much as 26 Grains. Chronograph will tell.
Key to these 10 G loads is the fiber wad, let's you set the charges height for good crimps with light charges powder or shot.
