Manufactures have access to powders and components that are often not available to reloaders.

The powder could well be proprietary; however, with the cost of R&D for powder development I would be surprised if RST is the only market for the powder manufacturer. It may well be a powder that is no longer in production due to a more modern or cleaner version being marketed but neither of the two powders look like what I would envision as a shotgun powder.

I use Clays exclusively for Sporting Clays practice and also Universal Clays for small gauge. If you have a good low pressure for 2 7/8' 10 ga., I will drop it back at least 10%in load develop[ment and try it. Thanks Jim Garrett

Is that Fiocchi 616 primer a metric primer? I've been looking at how to get metric primers to use in Rio hulls. I can buy them from BPI but you can't ship them to Alaska.

I shoot a 2 5/8 Parker 10. A single edge razor can be used to cut shells - they're cheap. Just stick it in the dowel at about a 20 degree angle. Any load that works in a longer shell will work - there's just less room for shot and or wads. I like the paper wads - it's easier to adjust the wad height. 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

Pete, just my personal preference, 1265fps is unnecessary. Maybe that load is necessary for a clean burn. I'd try about 1.5 to 2 grains less - you'd have a little less FPS but would also lower the pressure. A lower velocity would mean less recoil. Shot that starts out faster slows down quicker so at any distance you haven't really gained a whole lot. A lower pressure also means less shot defromation. That equals better patterns. I have a IMR manual in front of me -in one load they have from 14.5 to 18.5 grs to give 1150 to 1325 FPS. Pressures go from 5,700 to 8,300. Good luck - Paul
