Loading the Short Ten by Pete Lester

I load Remington and Cheddite in the "Short 10". I have a bunch of the RST hulls, which are Cheddite. I played "Hull Whore" at a SxS shoot and scrounged every 10g I could find. Most were 2 7/8" and were calling my name!

the 19 grains of reddot and 1 1/8 ounce of shot is a good dove load..i shot 5 times and killed 2 doves..really not enough testing but i know enough about the load that its fine on doves...charlie

Charlie and Dave, my friend Claudio Opacek, the outstanding Ontario gunsmith and NAVHDA judge, gave me two boxes of the rare Canuck 2 3/4" tens after I told him I collect ten gauge shells. Strange that Charlie would mention these shells since no one I know has ever heard of them. One box is 1 1/4 ounce BB. How rare is that? Some day I will root out the other box. They are beautiful dark orange varnished paper shells, roll crimped with the load information on the top wad. They are about the nicest 10 gauge shells I own. Watch the obituaries.

Sorry, I thought all Morris' RST shells were made with Cheddite hulls. I was informed today the 10g are Federal made hulls. I learned something today, it was worthwhile waking up!!!!!
