8300 PSI TOO MUCH FOR 10 GA TWIST

[Paul Harm]

I use 700X for 1 and 1 1/8oz loads in the 10ga. It's what I use for my 12ga low pressure loads. Never a problem. Been useing it way back in the 70's for trap. Paul

i too use 700-x and have not had a "dud" with it with 100's of shots, love it for 1 0z and 1 1/8th oz loads, 18 to 19 grs of powder, scott

This Green Dot load is listed in the current Alliant Reloaders Guide, it is for 3.5" Federal shells. To those who reload for the short ten what do you think about backing the powder off about 10% to 26 grains in a Federal hull cut to 2 7/8"?

Along with 10% less powder I would think that less filler material being needed would also decrease pressure slightly as well (going from 6 .135 cards in the 3.5" to a single .250 16ga fiber filler in the 2 7/8")

I was thinking about trying this in a Twist gun and maybe send the loads to Precision Reloading for analysis of pressure and velocity.

What do those of you who reload for the Short Ten think?
