red dot 10 ga loads

[Carl G. Bachhuber]

I just ran some 1-1/8 oz. Red Dot 10 ga. loads thru the chronograph last week. For what it is worth, these were in Remington SP cases cut to 2-7/8 with a 6 pt crimp. Wad was Remington 10 ga with 16 ga. filler wads. 23.7 grains clocked 1251 fps and 22.2 ran 1198fps. The 22.2 load is not a bad shooting load. I have no idea what pressures were generated but they seem pretty mild.

Carl thanks , that is good info . I like the 22 gr load . I talked to Tom Arburst the other day and he tested 23 grs RedDot in a Fed hull and win primer at 1220 fps and said the pressure was in spec. He said the 19gr load would likely be under 1100 fps .
