Track of the Wolf sells Rocky Mountain shells with the Parker name on them. I see their business is up for sale, so if you want some better get your order in. I think most guys will agree with me that if you see a moderate 12ga load it will be safe in a 10ga. The chambers are bigger in diameter so there's more area for the pressure to exert on. A lot of the guys like 19grs of RD and a 1 1/8oz load. I like that with 1oz for clay birds or 23grs of GD.

Do you possibly have an 1 1/4 and/or 1 1/2 load using BD or W572 ? I already use the 1 1/8 RD load and I’ll add the GD load as well . I now have plenty SR7625 to last me with all the 10 gauge 1 1/4 , buck and slug loads I wanna shoot . But I have 10 pounds BD and 8 pounds 572 I oughtta use for something .

Check the current Hodgdon reloading site. They have recently listed three low pressure 1 1/4 ounce 2 7/8" 10ga loads. One uses 572 and another uses IMR Blue. It is my understanding that IMR Blue can be substituted for Alliant Blue Dot and vice versa but I would double check that info first.

I heard the same about BD vs Blue , RD vs Red , GD vs Green and something they’ve come out with that’s supposed to be the same as Unique .

They showed 27.5 grains of W572 with 1 1/4 ounce and a 1/4" 16 gauge card in the SP-10 shotcup . And 35.2 of Blue with the same thing . I may try and load a few of each tomorrow or next week .

Not what you asked about, but I have a nice 1 3/8 oz. Blue Dot load:
