Short Ten Winchester Super Handicap Load: Test Results

[Victor Wasylyna]

I just received test results for a new Winchester Super Handicap target load (using 1 1/8 oz. of lead). The components are: (1) a 10 gauge Remington (green) hull (cut to 2 7/8''); (2) a Winchester 209 primer; (3) 18.5 grains of Winchester Super Handicap; (4) an SP-10 wad; (5) one ½’’ fiber wad in the wad cup; (6) 1.125 ounces of #8 lead; (7) two 16 gauge overshot cards; and (8) a 6 point fold crimp. The result: 960 fps @ 4090 psi.

This load is too weak for me, but the results indicate that Winchester Super Handicap has potential for the short ten. To be explored further.
