In the Remington hull, the Cheddite primer works well for me. Why some people think you'd need less powder for a short shell is be on me - the volume of where the powder is has not been reduced. The available volume for shot or wads has been reduced. You won't raise pressure. Paul
If that is the case and I believe it is this would be a nice load for composite barrel 10's using the Rem hull.
