I’m doing a pheasant tower shoot this spring and was thinking of taking the 10 gauge. I have got some lead numbers 6’s and wondered if you had any suggestions on a load ?

I can’t answer for the two you asked but I use a 10 gauge at most tower shoots I do anylonger . And I use my old stand by Ross Seyfried load of 30 grains of SR7625 1 1/4 ounces shot an SP-10 wad and a 16 gauge 1/8” card in the bottom of the shot cup . I typically put an over shot card over the shot inside the folded crimp to cut back on any shell length deviations and shot leakers . I use that same charge etc for most applications of the 10 be it any size bird shot , bismuth or buckshot as long as they’re all in the 1 1/4 to slightly heavier realm .
