Default RE: 10 Gauge Pet loads!

In that case I can point a couple loads I use from Alliant powders 2002 Reloaders Guide,
Using their STEEL powder (really good stuff).

Hull: 10 ga. Remington (yellow plastic base wad) Wad: Precision reloading TUFW105

Primer: Fed. 209A Shot weight: 1 1/4 oz. ( i use #2's and BB) Powder: STEEL, 50 grains

Note: this my is my general use load when shooting over decoys, the velocity stated is 1,555 fps. It is a quick load really reduces the need for leading on the further shots, recoil isnt that bad either comparable to 12 guage heavy loads.

Hull: 10 ga. Remington (yellow plastic base wad) Wad: Ballistic Products mm10312

Primer: Fed. 209A Shot weight: 1 5/8 oz (I use BBB, T and TT) Powder: STEEL, 37 grains

Note: I use this load for hunting over decoys in fields when birds are skittish and usually dont present anything closer then a 40 or 50 yards shot, The velocity stated 1,310 fps, A little on the slow side but throws a nice dense pattern pretty far with the larger shot through a steel full choke. good luck and good hunting
