New 10ga recipe w/ BP-1044wad

[6pt-Sika]

Morris Bakers daughter told me I think two years ago when they used new CheddarCheese hulls with the Gualandi wad that if loaded for awhile the powder would migrate around the wad . They arrived at this from carrying a couple flats in the back of a vehicle for a month or so . She also told me they loaded pre fired hulls and this problem didn’t occur any longer .

BP and PR both seem to be out of Red Dot.
What would be a good substitute?

FWIW Alliant has put production of Red Dot , Green Dot , Blue Dot and Unique on hold for awhile .

FYI, Sparky will have Red Dot, Green Dot and Blue Dot for sale at our shoot here at Rock Mountain in July.

I spoke with Lisa of RST today at Rock Mountain about their 10 gauge offerings and the wads they use. She said they use Gualandi wads and will not be producing anymore 10 gauge for the rest of the year.

Glad I started reloading the short 10.

Beyond Morris on Thursday and Saturday there was only one other RST rep at the Northern/Rock Mountain and her name is Chris = Office and Sales Manager. Ernie Hausmann is recovering from knee surgery and was along with Morris. Nice to see and talk with all.

You are correct Frank. I misspoke. Her name is Chris. Sorry for the confusion

I shot a bunch of 1044 wads last week at Rock Mountain and I had no squibs or odd sounding shots. I’m unsure how the x10x wad would work in 27/8” hull, and I’m sure it would raise psi but I’d not venture a guess how much

19.2 grains of Red Dot is a 32 bushing.
21.7 grains of WSH is a 22 bushing.
That seems like a significant difference in volume.
Also, that BP-1044 fits more loosely in a Cheddite hull than any other hull/wad combination I have ever loaded.
