by about 1500 if I remember correctly

so then my 30 grains of SR7625 with 1 1/4 ounce of shot with Nice or ITX should be reduced 2 or 3 grains to keep pressure relatively close to the lead loads ?

I went through all the posts to try to carefully record how many individuals shoot a Short Ten of some make. 78 of us have responded thus far, wow. I think I will start another thread and ask how many of us reload for the Short Ten.

I would think that oughtta be about a 95% given of those that own to those that load !

I don't think I responded to this thread, if not than I have five or six short tens, but only two are Parkers.

I don't think I responded either, but I have a Parker 10 hammer gun. Bought it at the fall Southern SxS. It's been out for some stock work, back home yesterday. Am working up short 10 loads for it. Last month or so putting components together and modifying my press.

Will post some photos and details later

I have been shooting short 10 Parker and others for a few years now with and without BP. Have most fun waterfowl hunting with my 10s. My Parker has been my lead/favorite field gun for a while.

J.B.- I shoot my 1884 grade 2 10 gauge, SN 41762. Works well on Canada Geese with hand-loaded 1 1/8 oz ITX #2s propelled by 30 grains of IMR SR 7625

You're a lucky man to have some SR-7625. I will be shooting my NH Parker using ITX-original-10 #2 shot this fall myself. I ended up picking a recipe out the ITX manual using 44gr's blue dot & 1 3/8oz ITX #2

I shot some of these this week. I think they are going to be deadly on sandhill cranes this fall.
