Craig, you ever think about round ball for the 10ga ? A .690 will fit in a SP-10 wad and weighs 485grs. A .710RB will slide down a 10ga shell - have to use a fiber wad - weighs 530grs. The 690 would be just under a 1 1/8 oz and the 710 would be just over a 1 1/4 oz. I used to shoot the 710 in muzzleloading matches for smoothbores and would load it like a bird shot load with fiber wads. The ball would roll down the barrel but still shot just fine - won a match or two with it. At 25 yards off hand I could hold a 3" group. I'll get out this next week and try my buck shot loads.[/QUOTE]

i did load a 20 ga slug in a sp 10 wad with 23 grs of 700-x ,filler under 3/4 oz slug and star crimp. it shot 4 inches low at 6 o'clock at 40 yds. shot it with 32 in. EH choked .032. i think with a little work i could get it shooting dead on at 40 yds,

Think I might have to find a 69 cal Minnie ball mold to try in the 10 gauge .
