Hi i just bought a brand X [American Arms Whitmoure] it came with 25 brass Parker hulls. Does any one have any data on loads using shotcups and smokeless powder

You'll more likely than not need to use fiber wads for a good fit.

Preston, I was able to get a good supply of SR7625 just for 10 gauge so I haven't looked for an alternate powder. I will start looking to see what is available. I read that Rio is in production in Texas and will be selling their powder to reloaders so maybe they will have something that will work. Hogdon certainly needs some competition. Jim

19 grains of red dot or 21 grains of green dot will push a load of 1 1/8 ounce of lead in a ten ga hull real good not much recoil and will take squirls out at 45 yards real good..look on pete lesters loads for the ten ga...it is the best loading sheet for the short ten that there is....charlie

Preston, take any 12ga load in the 8 to 9000psi range and if used in the 10 you'll have even lower pressures. I say 8 to 9 because then it'll be down to 7 to 8000psi. The chambers are a bigger diameter so there's more surface area for the pressure to exert upon so there's less pressure overall. I've used RD,GD, Promo, 700X, Nitro 100 - they all work.

did you down load the Adobe reader?

if you do- it should open automagically when you double click on it

emailing it won't help if you do not have a PDF viewer like adobe

blue dot powder is a good powder for heavy loads in the 10 ga also green dot and red dot are fine for light loads ..herco poder is another good powder for the 10 ga...paul harm also has some differant powders he uses maybe he ll pitch in here...the herco load is on pete lesters loading sheet....charlie

Questions regarding the short ten list and the Hull abbreviations. Rem OS. What dose OS stand for. Rem whtlr. what dose whtlr mean and finally Rem blktr. These hull abbreviations are killing me trying to figure out witch components to use. Looking for a 1 1/2 oz load using Black rem hulls (once fired) from precision reloading and trimmed to 2 7/8". Powders available are Red dot, Blue dot, Clay dot, 700x andsr7625. I have Sp10 wads and Win 209primers and a brick of Fed 209 primers. Any good loads would be appreciated.
