Old Reloading Manuals - 2 7/8" 10ga recipes

[J.B. Books]

I am trying to find more loads, particularly those that use more common powders such as Green Dot, Herco, 700X, HS-6 etc. I have shot lots of 32gr SR7625 loads myself but a Green Dot load is/would be much more cost efficient. My cost for GD is $20 a pound vs $27 a pound for SR7625. GD and 700X would be more reliable in cold weather as well.

I dunno it was snow on the ground last season when I used my 10 gauge load with twelve 00 Buck pellets to down a fat doe . Now granted in the New England states it will certainly get colder then here in Virginia . But that load did pretty well for me . Also in the late 2010 dove season it worked well and again there was snow on the ground . I think then the temo was between 22 and 30 . Thats by no means bitterly cold even in VA but it is below freezing .

I'm pretty happy with this load and Unique in my 16 damascus Parker . Now I need to move on to my like new W.&C.Scott 12 and 20 gauge damascus hammerless guns !

Also wanna work on single roundball loads in the short 10 and short 16 !

Back years ago shotgun reloading to me was all about loading enough shells quickly for a skeet or trap shoot the upcoming weekend

Now if I go shoot skeet I may shoot a couple rounds 10 or 12 times a year . And the rest to date has been for dove or buckshot for deer

Pete , while we're at it do you possibly have a spread sheet for the 8 gauge ?

No I don't have one "yet" but it doesn't hurt to get yourself prepared before the fact
