Neat load, Charlie! I wondered about using standard shot measures for buckshot. If I remember correctly, my one ounce measure will not hold an ounce of buckshot. I figured the proper way to make the best of the powder to shot ratio would be to weigh the payload of buckshot.

Charlie, your photos of the 10 gauge shell popped up at the bottom of my screen today. That is a very nice example of a 'commercial handload'. That may not be a correct term, but the '1901' hulls were only sold empty. Selby may have been a large sporting or hardware distributor. Drew Hause may have some info on the name. Yours is a load of 30 grains of Ballistite with 1-1/8 ounces of number 7 shot.

That's what I call a compact shell. I was looking in my old First Edition Lyman book from 1969 and found a 10 gauge Remington Peters SP 2 7/8" load that allowed nine 000 pellets at 1,405 FPS and a 12 pellet load of 00 buck at 1,385 FPS, both using PB powder in stack loads.
Recent reloading manuals do not show 000 buck at all. And only 3 1/2" hulls. Times, they are achangin. Last edited by John Farrell; 10-28-2012 at 05:57 PM.. Reason: Data |
