Wads and spacers for a short 10 load

I tried some 16 ga x 1/2" fiber wads (untreated) under a shot column in the 10 ga. w/ 1 1/4 oz They didn't "poof" but didn't sound and feel like a full charge round and burned very dirty. Same fiber wad IN the shot cup worked well, got me the same shot height for crimp, burned much cleaner. Have to think the result was a very low pressure round, too low to fully burn the powder. Shot both outta my Ithaca Mag 10 for test purposes, neither would fully operate mechanism, no surprise there.

All the 1100 fps RST loads I have shot are extremely dirty however the 1250fps bismuth load was alot cleaner. Not sure what the pressure difference would be between a 1 1/4 oz at 1100 vs 1250 fps. Their bismuth load was listed as 1 3/8oz but when they started running out of supplies they went to a 1 1/4 which is what I have. I need to look at the load data and see if theres a handload in there that is similar to that.

I’m loading 10 gauge 1 1/4 #7 1/2’s for the summer planting at Rock Mountain , hopefully they’ll provide a good red bean crop

I had placed a order with BPI last week since they had the Cheddites listed as in stock but my order was canceled 2 days ago for whatever reason. I wanted to load up about 50 dove loads for the 10 ga. At least my order from Precision came in.

RST’s and REM’s same exact load in both . Both look decent both go boom both break or kill birds .

I had ordered some hulls and a couple of other things a month ago and they came in 3 days ago, apparently they sold out their inventory 4 weeks ago and just now gort it all shipped out. I'm not sure why they don't stop taking orders when they are fully committed.

Theyre the only place I have seen large size lead shot when the funds allow I will try placing another other but this time just for shot and see how it goes.
I think this would be the ticket for coyotes in the 8 and 10 ga

I just checked this evening and they still show the 10 Ga Cheddites as available.
