Default What do you think

This Green Dot load is listed in the current Alliant Reloaders Guide, it is for 3.5" Federal shells. To those who reload for the short ten what do you think about backing the powder off about 10% to 26 grains in a Federal hull cut to 2 7/8"?

Along with 10% less powder I would think that less filler material being needed would also decrease pressure slightly as well (going from 6 .135 cards in the 3.5" to a single .250 16ga fiber filler in the 2 7/8")

I was thinking about trying this in a Twist gun and maybe send the loads to Precision Reloading for analysis of pressure and velocity.

What do those of you who reload for the Short Ten think?
