bishop Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I flogged my AYA s/s10 but kept my 36" Stevens single barreled 10 bore hammergun.Its a full choke job and this time i aint easing it out to half quarter or anything else.It stays as its made.im going to put some light loads of steel thru it.1's perhaps the copper plated shot may be good.Im ordering up some cheddite hulls and a few bits and bobs from clay and game but can someone message me with a tried and tested recipe for blue dot 10 bore loads.Steel not lead.Im looking for a reasonable velocity this time though .Anyone got some goose stopper recipes that are proven again and again to work safely and efficiently?? cheddite hulls preferrably.

UK fowler Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 LOAD# 140318-5563 (Duck or Goose) HULL: CHEDDITE 10 ga. 3.5” PRIMER: CH209 PROPELLANT: ALLIANT BLUE DOT 48.0 Grains WAD: BPD10T + (2)14FW20 in wad base SHOT: 1 ¼ oz. 546gr. Steel Shot #1 BUFFER: 12 gr. FOLD CRIMP: OS10 over the shot Result: PSI 9900 FPS 1420 this is the only load I have seen for ched cases and blue dot .to much powder and not enough shot in my view lymans has some 39 gram loads using 41 grains of powder for close to 1400 fps in winchester cases not a popular powder for steel loads on this side of the pond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) I'd be looking for 1 3/8 minimum .I think you're right, not enough shot.Can see myself having to order up powder too.pain that is as i've plenty blue dot left. How about if i were to order some of the remmy cases up.C&G seem to drool over cheddite primers too much rather than CCI or other brands that go with so many recipes from over the water Edited November 16, 2016 by bishop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK fowler Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 i use a stevens single ten with 13/8 oz copper b# shot and it shoots well tough as Iv not had it long . kicks to much with hot 11/2oz reloads but 13/8oz if you dont run them flat out of nice to shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I've only fired 1 round in anger from this gun as i had my s/s 10 at the same time so never bothered to try it out..I did drop the goose and i agree its a fine gun to swing --big 36" barrel.! .Im happy enough with a single round these days as ive had my quota of geese in my life thus far.But in fairness to the bird the round must do the job --hence my questions.I have a few rhinos left but at 48g im pondering if the full choke will be safe with a heavy round like the rhino.

coyotemaster Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Keeping in mind you need to push steel fast to have downrange energy along with adequate pellet count to ensure enough hits, I load 1 1/2 oz. steel with 41 gr. Blue Dot in Fed. case fiocchi primer and precision reloading brown wad. This load chronos around 1400 fps in my barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyotemaster Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I like your shot choice. I have found that larger pellets hold their energy well so long as you can register the needed 3-5 pellets on target. Tom Roster who did lethality studies here found that .020 choke was optimal for large pellets. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
