Thanks for the info Paul. I'm learning. Lol I am accustom to pistol loads and you have a very small range and I was taught not to change anything that wasn't in the book. I see you can mix and match so to speak with shotgun. A little anyway.

My reloading for 2 1/2 inch used in all English game guns is: Cheddite/RST hulls, Win 209 primer, GU Z21 "Trap Commander" wad, 18.5 grains of American Select, 1 oz. Shot. 6 fold crimp for 1200 fps @ 6900 psi. Great load and hammers clays. With larger shot works well in the field. I use these in both damascus and steel barrels.

Thanks for the info Eric.....sounds like a good field load for Texas Dove or Duck. Does it work the same if you put non-toxic like bismuth in it instead of lead???/

Kirk, that I can not tell you. The only non-toxic loading I have done has been with Nice Shot. Loads with the same components as lead just around 1000 psi higher pressure. I do have to get some Bismuth #5 and work up a field load for the short ten's and SR 4756. Summer project getting ready for next fall.

i would stick to published/tested loads for any non-tox
they all react different than lead and each other Hodgdon's online load data has a low pressure 1 1/4 oz bismuth load for Cheddite hulls and longshot powder - I have loaded it in 2 1/2 inch hulls - works just fine

"Work up" was probably the wrong choice of words. I'll be using a Sherman Bell load tested by Tom Armbrust for velocity and pressure.

i used one of the Sherman Bell loads last year- from Peter's spread sheet last season in one of my short tens- i liked the load
1 1/4 oz #4 bismuth plus buffer- 31 gr IMR7625 in the Remington green hull-
