The only thing about this load that you would have to investigate is the velocity which may be a bit low for serious hunting. Otherwise, it will not blow up a bad gun, much less a good gun. I would feel comfortable adding a grain or two to the powder and then testing it for velocity on a chronograph. I would estimate the load you mentioned at about 1150 fps at the low end. Pressure is not to be important in a ten gauge. Probably less than 7500. If your load sounds good, I would just shoot it. I am guessing that the shot load is about 1 1/8 ounces.
