I would like know what powder you have found to be 100& reliable with 1.25 ounce loads in the short ten.

I used to think more was better too. The average 10 bore's performance with 1.25 ounce payload is noticably more effective than the average 12 bore on both clay and game in my experience.

Pete,

I am thinking along the lines that David did, either with Green Dot or Unique. In 1.25 ounce loads in 12 I have never had anything but good results, so I am sure a call to Alliant powders will produce a load in 10 that will not cause bloopers. But that is why I am asking. In the spring it will not be cold but it is now so I don't want any failures when a buck or even a lowly doe runs by in front of the dogs.
