Short 10 and Red Dot.

With the 19gr red dot load I just change shot size and keep loading. Use it for everything.

Same with me no change to the standard Mec Crimp set up. Even fresh trimmed hulls crimp fine with Mec's Plastic Pre Crimp. I do Skive the hulls, don't have to but the wad slides in easier if Skived. It's a quick job Balistic Products Hull Skiving tool chucked up in the lathe. Hold the hull on the spinning tool with a little twist of the fingers for a second or so all it takes.

By the way bought a big box of once fired Federal 10 G hulls on line. my opinion It's a lot better Hull than Cheddites.

I've been finding red dot a little difficult to come across lately. If anyone else does, they might try 21 gr. of 700X and 1 1/8 oz. of shot. This is another untested load, but I've been using it for years, and never had a problem with it in any of my 10's. Just an FYI, The IMR handloaders guide from 1996 lists 22.5 grains of 700X...SP10 wad...1 3/8 oz. shot...at 1190 fps. and 9700 psi., with a 2 7/8 inch case length.
