Default Green Dot and 10ga.?

I've seen several mentions of Green Dot and 10ga. Powder drops mentioned, 19grs. and 22grs. What I haven't seen is the rest of the recipe. I've checked the spread sheet and didn't see a recipe with those powder drops.

Does anyone know what the recipe might be and has it been tested?

I’m not familiar with 19 grs of GD, but I do use 19 grs of Red Dot in the 10. The 22 grs GD uses a 11/4 oz load with an SP10 wad and Winchester primer.

Now if I could figure out a way to use sourgham or molasses in the shells to take up space I could possibly draw the blackies in as well

Bet you could use a powder thrower to meter correct amount of milo to go under the shot charge.
