Short 10 and SR4756

[Eric Johanen]

Out for a clays shoot this morning with the Greener hammer gun. I shot some with the 19.0 grain Red Dot 1 1/8 oz. load and tested a Sherman Bell load using SR4756: Federal hulls trimmed to 2&7/8 inch, Winchester primers, 35.0 grains of SR4756, Remington SP 10 wad, 1&1/4 oz. of #7.5 shot, 6 point crimp. (1212 fps @ 5400 psi) Good in cold weather 23 degrees and no off sounding shots. Easy on the gun and easy on the gunner! Birds were shattered when I centered them up. I had a bunch of misses by shooting over and blame it on the light and dark background. Could not be poor shooting on my part! I have now two really nice shooting loads for my short 10's and am pleased with the results. I'll test the load again on Sunday with my other Short 10 hammer gun. Really liking this!!
