10 gauge reload Issues

[6pt-Sika]

Any hull SP-10 wad 30 grains of SR7625 and depending on the hull 3 or 4 red beans as filler . Plain and simple breaks targets and kills birds . When I started using this load it called for one 16 gauge 1/8” card in the shot cup which I did and it worked nicely . But somebody on here started talking about using beans and or cheerios which I laughed at . One day I was out of 16 cards so I went to the local grocery store and got some small red beans . Tried a couple in the snail at the shop , seemed fine . Loaded what I needed for where ever I was going used them and have never looked back . By all means do as you wish but this works for me ! Heck I’ve adapted the same basic 30 grain SR7626 and SP-10 wad for buckshot slugs and bismuth .

Craig I use the same loading with bismuth, just go 1/4" on the fiber wad. Fits perfectly, crimps nice and whacks'em on the other end, very easy on the shooter, especially out of an 8 or 9 pound gun. I'm just worried the Bird Sheriff is gonna get you for baiting with the beans!

If he can find the beans after the gun goes boom more power to him ! I suspect they disintegrate at the shot.
