Not about 16 gauge. I need some loads for 10 gauge with lead shot. I need 2&7/8 length loads for older shotguns and 3&1/2 inch loads for an Ithaca NID double and a browning pump. Both fiber wad and plastic wads. I have Herco, blue dot, red dot, green dot, long shot, clays, and 700x powders. Federal, Remington, Cheddite hulls. Prefer 1&1/8, 1&1/4, 1&1/2 ounce loads. Mostly for practice. Low pressure (Damascus safe) in 2&7/8 inch loads. |

Not sure on the count but I do have some Alcan once fired 10 gauge paper hulls that are in great shape that I have been thinking of getting rid of, great for low pressure loads. Also some remington 10 gauge wads. |

Been shooting this one ever since Skeettx shared his low pressure 10ga library with me a while back, used a 1oz 700x load off it as a base and played with substituting Reddot & Promo, finally had it tested at PR last week, great for knocking the rust off the O/U & SxS Duck and Goose guns & me before season + just plain fun otherwise. Won't cycle the Gold, go figure.
Any ratty 10ga hull trimmed (thank you Byrdog, yes I use and had a mix of Fed, Rem, Win & an old Bis hull tested) to ~2.2" internal ~2.5" OAL, w209, 18g BY VOLUME Reddot or Promo, SP10 but see no reason a PT1044 couldn't be used, 1oz reclaimed lead, 6 fold. I evolved it to this hull length so no fillers needed and have a dedicated 600 set to the lowest column setting so no fussing with heights, yes the wad is too long for this small amount of shot but I just crush the excess petals into the crimps/shot column works fine, tried trimming but wasn't worth the effort. Sorry for all the words....
hull/speed/pressure...
rem/1237/7420
bis/1185/5920
fed/1248/7980
win/1202/8410
rem/1248/7910
avg 1224/7528 remove old bis hull anomaly 1233/7930 not too bad for a mess around/practice shell IMO. Enjoy.... |

Hey Bill, thanks, finding time to visit a couple blogs again since c19 influenced business changes and waterfowl seasons are winding down. Indeed, if a 10ga fanatic like myself, Skeettx's data sheets are nice to have in the library. |
