2 7/8" 10ga Reloading Data

[J.B. Books]

Here is a revised and updated version of my 2 7/8" 10 gauge reloading data spreadsheet. There are 10 new loads (highlighted in yellow) since the last time I posted it including some ITX, Steel and Bismuth loads. The Fed Hull with 40gr of Blue Dot and 1 1/2 ounce of Bismuth looks like a very promising goose load and it is less than 8000 psi.

All Non-Tox load recipes are in bold green font.

I have also added/incorporated all the Sherman Bell recipes so this can be a one stop shop comprehensive short ten reloading guide. Enjoy.

Great stuff, if only you had some for 2 5/8".....

I didnt see the RST hull listed. Is it the same as Federal?

[Bill Murphy]

A call to RST will answer that question. Be quick about it. Alex and dogs will be at the Vintagers and on out of town hunting trips soon.

George I have picked up a few empty RST 10ga hulls and I am sure they are Federal hulls, I found there is no difference in how they load compared to any other Federal 10ga hull.

Pete, They are Cheddite hulls but for all intensive purposes they load the same as Federals.

Dave the empty RST's I picked up were from a couple of years ago, I'm quite certain they were Federal hulls. I am pretty sure I asked the folks at the RST tent about the hulls and they said they used Federal hulls for 10ga and Cheddite in smaller gauges. If Cheddite makes a 10ga hull that would be a fairly recent development and maybe RST switched?

Thanks Pete
The reason I asked was the look damned identical to my Federal 3.5 inch 10 ga hulls- even same color.

Shane if you roll crimp you may be able to use the 2 7/8th inch folded crimp data for your 2 5/8th inch loads. I use fiber wads in my 10 gauge loads so adjusting wad column height by 1/4 inch is not a problem

This is obviously a very old thread, however I am new to the site--- I am looking for information on 2 7/8" 10 ga loads. I hope to find loads for 1 1/2, 1 5/8 oz somewhere. There was a PDF supposedly posted here- but I see no attachments anywhere. Any help anyone can provide pointing me in the right direction to find information is greatly appreciated.
