Loading for a Parker 10 gauge tonight:
They are all primed. Two are completed aside from sealing. Only twenty three more to go. 3-1/4 Drams of Holy Black and 1-3/8 ounces of #8 shot. A fairly light “square load” for the short 10. On a side note, I took delivery today of two flats of B&P 7/8oz 12 gauge. Natchez had a “free shipping” sale, with tax 500 rounds for a hair under $200 was as good as it gets nowadays. Too bad it isn’t that easy for low pressure 10 gauge. There is something to be said for using your own two hands to produce a quality product that isn’t readily available in the marketplace. Disregard the old LC in the photo, it just happened to be there.
