I am hoping to load up some 10 loads using either WSM or Green Dot and lead soon. First I want some plinking loads just to be able to shoot the gun then I will work on some duck loads.

It may be worth as well testing some buffered bismuth loads when you start working on duck loads, from everything ive read bismuth responds well to buffering. You can buy 1lb bismuth bags from rotometals to test different sizes see what your gun likes. I had a wood stocked Browning BPS 10 once that someone had cut the stock down to a youth configuration which seemed odd haha, I was able to still shoot it though. From what ive read a short lop isnt as bad on a waterfowl gun if you're wearing alot of thick clothing.
Only powder I have experience with is Bluedot which I use for my 8 and 10 ga loads. Loading shotshells is pretty easy and simple I mostly use handtools except for the roll crimper. I got a small digital pocket scale from Precision Reloading that works well and stays calibrated.
