I have been loading 10ga 2 7/8" 1 1/8oz loads for a number of years now. I have always used Federal hulls until recently. I switched to Remington due to the plastic base versus the fiber base in the Federal hulls. I was concerned about the fiber base shooting out after repeated reloads. Anyhow, the Remington hulls are very consistent and I get a perfect crimp every time. I use two .070 overshot cards and one .125 fiber wad in the bottom of a SP-10 wad. I use the load published by S Bell. Does the Cheddite hull have a plastic or fiber base??
I have question for you guys using a wildcat load with red dot powder---why wouldn't you send 3 shells to T Armburst for testing just to confirm it is an appropriate load for the vintage short ten guns? The peace of mind would be worth the $15.00 to me.
Also, I reload only 7625 in 10 gauge and have never had cold weather bloopers and I live in western NY state (think cold and snow!!). I wonder if some reloaders experience cold weather bloopers from a weak crimp as a result of worn out hulls??
