Craig I do not understand your desire to achieve a lower pressure load for the short ten than you have with these tested Red Dot loads. They are period correct loads that will not harm a sound composite barrel gun. Loads with pressures lower than these (especially the Federal hull load) is risking the possibility of squib loads especially in cold weather. When you are in the field it is heartbreaking to have a good shot only to have the shell fail when you pull the trigger. I can attest to these Red Dot loads in the federal hull working well in very cold temps, I use them crow hunting in January - March each year in temps in the low teens.
