Looking at these loads with pressure data is what gave me pause with the 31 grain figure:

I realize it isn’t fiber wads but I use 18.6 of Red Dot with the SP-10 with two 16 ga 1/8” nitro wads in the bottom of the cup and 1 1/8 ounces of shot . Not saying to go out and buy SP-10 wads but you oughtta be able to adapt it some sort of way as it’s quite lite in my opinion .

I got into wanting to go smokeless at the wrong time. SP-10s are going for fairly outrageous prices. I just backed of a Gunbroker lot that's made it to $31 without shipping even factored in and 9 hours left. I don't mind black, but my hunting buddies are getting a little tired of not being able to see after I shoot

Any thoughts on starting with similar load data as the SP-10 then building up the wad column and using overshot cards? I can't imagine any pressure issues with those combos, but like I said I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone has already found something okay. 31 grains from the Hercules manual seems excessive, but if someone is using it I'd love to know how it's working.
