10 gauge non tox shell recommendation.

[6pt-Sika]

Ive got bismuth loaded for ducks and or geese . I use 30 grains of SR7625 and weighed 1 1/4 ounces of whatever shot size I want mostly 1-2-4-5 . I’ve not bothered putting buffer in these and seems to me I didn’t need spacers or if so very little . I also believe I’ve only loaded it using SP-10’s and not the BPI wad . Oh yeah these were in 2 7/8” hulls . I have a set of Belgian made fluid steel barrels that were fitted to a Grade 2 top lever 10 that have 3 1/2” chambers , I believe this was a Don Kaas gun at one point . Anyway I shot some factory 10 gauge 3 1/2” buckshot slugs and turkey loads in that almost 10 pound gun and recoil was still noticeable .
