Short Ten Greed Dot Loads: Test Results

[Eric Johanen]

Victor have you noticed any shot bridging with these #4 shot loads. I noticed you do not use a buffer. Is the Remington SP10 wad showing any sighs of shot rub through? My short 10's have no or very slight choke. Both have laminated barrels and I wonder if 22.0 -22.5 grains of Green dot would be in the 1150 fps range at about 8000 psi? Thank you for having these loads tested.

I think that 22 grains will get you some where between 1100- 1150 fps and well below 8000psi

Eric:

No bridging with #4. Loaded up some #1 bismuth and had bridging on a few, but nothing a little whack upside the MEC could not solve.

Not sure what you mean re “shot rub through.” Have not inspected any wads after shooting, if that’s where such a thing would be observed.

I doubt that you will get any rub through with Bismuth , it is pretty soft , compatible to lead . It wouldn't hurt anything if it did .
