10 gauge 2-7/8" cheddite 1-1/8 oz: My max test was 16 grains, Based on results looks like I could go up 17-18 grains easily

Hope it helps out

Thank you for posting your results, it's good to see a Short Ten load using currently available components. I agree, I would increase the powder charge to 17.5 or 18 to get the velocity closer to 1200 fps.
