On the loading, I use a mixed set of tools. Size and reprime on a PW 375, knocking the primed case out with a custom knock out rod that is cupped to avoid the fresh primer inside. Cases set up in a loading block. Then charge, insert the SP 10, then the fiber filler wads, last drop th shot, all on the PW 375, die removed hull sitting on a disk inside the sizer holder. Cases back to the loading block.
Last step crimp on a MEC 600 that delivers a nice crimp. It does not re size well at all. Reason for using the 375. Be better to do everything on one press and if I ever find another 375 cheap will alter it for dedicated short 10.
Little lube can help loading a lot. Some Imperial die wax on your fingers wiped on anything sticking makes the job easy. Only if it’s needed, some wads are hard to insert and cause buckled cases.
19 Red Dot 1 1/8 shot is a great load.
