Hi everyone and thanks for the replies. Yes, it was final approach and the toll was a real beauty but had a number of great tolls that day. I have 2 additional 10ga top levers that are eagerly waiting to be used next year...I cant wait...
I learned a few things on loading BP and was confirmed by others in the thread above.
- I went with the "heavy BP load" for 10ga. I was just a wee bit shy of 4.5 dr #2F BP. I had the gun is in great shape and was checked for functionality by my gunsmith.
- As mentioned above, I used niceshot #2 which performed well at short range.
One question for the group, I did not use a shotcup in these loads and went traditional with CircleFly. Would I get a better pattern if I added a shot cup?
