I'm in the process of loading 10's as we speak .

I've loaded a bunch with 1 1/8 ounces and a powder puff load of Red Dot . I've also loaded a bunch with 1 1/4 ounces and SR7625 again a not what I would call hot load .

But I'd forgotten you gave me the data for your Unique load . I have it saved so I just might load up a box of them to try at Tuesday night skeet

Just loaded a box using Unique and an ounce and a quarter of #8’s per Sir Koneski’s details . Although I was able to get by with one 1/8” 16 gauge nitro was in the cup and my usual over shot card to make the crimp flat . I’ll try these Tuesday evening at skeet and a few of my SR7625 to see if perceived recoil is close .

I almost forgot I’ve got a 10 gauge 2 7/8” load at home scribbled down from a friend using Universal Clays and 1 1/4 or 1 3/8 ounces of shot . That’s his Southern SxS load . May have to load a dozen or so of them tomorrow just for the heck of it .
