I haven’t ran into a lot of BP load data anywhere. I think track of the wolf and Ballistic products were the only places I’ve had luck for 10 gauge loads. The data I found works up to a square load of 4.5 drams of FG and 1 5/8oz of shot. I tried it with #6 BPI nickel plated shot and in my gun I had a better pattern dropping down from 4.5 drams of FG, 116 grains of FG powder to 100 grains. I can tell you there was also noticeable less recoil with the 16 grain drop as well. Shot a turkey with the load last year at 25 yards with the 100 grain FG load and 1 5/8oz #6’s. It dropped the bird in its tracks.

![]() ![]() ![]() Left and right barrels with the same load at 25 yards. ![]() The right barrel is definitely a close range spreader. I also tried factory loaded 1 1/4oz RST #5 and #6. The best group I had was with number 6’s at 25 yards. I had half the number count of hits VS the above load and 40 yards was not obtainable for shooting a turkey needless to say with the RST factory loads in my gun. And the outcome of the first time out in the woods with the gun and load… ![]() |

Here are my targets from a few days ago. I tested 100 grains of FG in a Winchester hull. I loaded with a 1/4” nitro wad and 1 5/8oz of #5’s. It didn’t group as tight at 25 yards than my #6 load but IT DID have more hits at 40 yards than my test with #6 nickel plated shot. That was kind of confusing to me. At fifty yards I only had 3 hits VS with the #6’s.
I then tested all brass hulls with the same exact load but added a 3/4” fiber cushion was over the 1/4” nitro wad. The groups were poor compared to the plastic hull loads. Plastic hulls… 25 yards… ![]() 40 yards…. ![]() 50 yards… ![]() All brass… 25 yards… ![]() 40 yards… ![]() Last edited by Cory Rams; 04-17-2022 at 08:17 AM.. Reason: Spelling |

Hi, how do you finish closing the top of your load over the shot ?

![]() The #6’s I cut my hull shorter before I crimped… ![]() The #6 load is probably 2.5” overall length. I cut the #5 shot loaded hulls around 2 3/4” before I crimped. The brass hulls I cut down to approx 2 3/4”. |
