10 Gauge 2 5/8" Load Results

[Matt Buckley]

I sent in a couple of loads I worked up for a 2 5/8" 10 gauge Parker lifter and here are the results from Precision Reloading:

Bismuth Load:
10 Gauge Cheddite 2 5/8" Hull
Win 209 Primer
SP 10 Wad
16 Ga 1/8" card wad filler
1 1/4oz Bismuth #2
26 grains of WSF Powder
Overshot card and roll crimp

Avg Velocity: 1164
Avg Pressure: 8342

I worked this one up for a potential goose hunting load.

My second load was a lead load:

10 Gauge Cheddite 2 5/8" Hull
Win 209 Primer
Sp 10 Wad
4- 16 ga 1/8" cards
1 1/8oz #8 lead shot
22 grains of WSH Powder
Overshot card and roll crimp

Avg Velocity: 1166
Avg Pressure: 8807

The pressure is higher on this load than I would like.
