Here’s the Green Dot link. Note the test was Bismuth & My shot bushing drops 23.5 not 24 as tested. Several Green Dot lead shot recipes are published with heavier charges. Too much for me.

Hodgdon has recently published data for three 1 1/4 ounce lead shot loads for the 2 7/8" 10 gauge. All of them would be considered "period correct" for velocity and pressure. I would have no qualms about shooting these loads in any of my composite barrel 10's.

Pete,
What hull did they use for those results? Jack K |

If you go to the Hodgdon online reloading center you will see that all three short ten loads posted above were using a Federal hull cut down to 2 7/8"

Pete,
I like the Federal hull and have been making 1 1/4 oz loads with IMR 4756. I still have about 6lbs left, but its nice to know that I have an alternative when I'm out of it. Thanks for pointing out that there is new data on 2 7/8" 10 gauge loads. You know the only thing I don't like about the Federal hull is the paper base. Sometimes the darn thing will separate and get stuck in the barrel. I try and remind myself to check the barrels after each shot before I reload, but it is engrained in me to keep my eye on where the bird fell. Harry |

I don't know if what I do is correct, but I treat all 10ga hulls, Rem, Fed, and Win, all the same for reloading. They're all a straight walled hull. I use the 23grs of GD with a 1 1/8oz load - easy on the shoulder.

I’ve yet to try Green Dot (but eventually I will) , but I don’t differentiate between REM and Federal hulls either .
