The 1968 Hercules Smokeless Powder Guide lists a 1 1/4 ounce lead load in 10ga driven by 29 grains of Red Dot with a "Cup type Over Powder Wad". With a Card Over Powder Wad it lists 31 grains.

Is there anybody out there who would shoot this much Red Dot with a 1 1/4 ounce load in 10ga, even in a fluid steel gun? I sure wouldn't.
