turkey loads

[Dennis]

Scott, not to steal the thread but I notice your recipe above for a 10 gauge load. I have loaded thousands of rifle and handgun loads over the last 50+ years but few shotshells. Those were with an old Lee hand press kit. I have an 1884 3 frame 10 gauge with lightly pitted barrels and I have fired it with 1 1/8th and 1 1/4 RST loads. Is there someone who loads 1 1/2 ounce shells that I can safely shoot out of my Parker? You mention using Federal shells. Are they cut down 3 1/2 inch plastic shells? I would like to load some Nice Shot and take the gun duck hunting this year if I have the chance to do so but would like to use the heavier load. I would appreciate comments from anyone. Thanks.

Dennis make one of these to trim shells , reloading supplies can be purchased here http://www.ballisticproducts.com/?gc...FUWd4AodhXEAdg
Someone can forward the PDF file Pete Lester put together which will cover any load you may need.
You will also have to buy a ten gauge press and a short kit...look on ebay for Mec press
