Other than that ,the generosity of Pete Lester and Dave Suponski have me all set up !

Chris, I am a little more daring then some and will switch some components when advertised pressures of a known recipe are lower rather than higher. Case in point I would be comfortable using a Remington SP-10 in place of the Ballistic Product Wad (VP100) since they are very similar in construction and identical in capacity. The BPD was is a steel shot wad. It provides no shock absorber and is very tall. I believe it is a greater surface area in contact with the bore than the two wads above which may lead to higher pressure so I would not use it in lieu of the VP100.
I would also be inclined to back the powder off about 10% on that load using 33 gr of Universal Clays, not only is it high pressure but it's a screamer at 1435 fps.
Have fun with the Short Ten.
