I assume you are looking at the short 10ga loads from Sherman Bell. If so he used the following abbreviations: NC = Nitro Card, MR = Mylar Wrap, FBS = Felt Blue Streak Wad (I believe this refers to the tradename Alcan Feltan Blue Streak). PSB = Precision Reloading Buffer Mat'l, BP= Ballistic Products Buffer Mat'l, x10x = plastic over powder card from Ballistic Products.
