Try and keep it under 8000 psi.
If you need some load data, shoot me an e-mail,

I load mainly 2-1/2" Cheddite hulls.
I can give you the low pressure 10 gauge data also, if you want it.
Here's my go to load:
I use the Cheddite 2-1/2" hull
Win. 209 primer
20.5 grains SR-7625
SG-16 wad
1 oz. shot,with 6 fold crimp
1150 fps @ 7400 psi
For 7/8 oz load drop powder down to 19.5 grains
Will give you 1200 fps @ 7400 psi
The 1 oz. load fits better in a 2-9/16" hull, but you can get it into a 2-1/2" hull with a little pressure on the wad.
