[QUOTE="Prairie Sasquatch, post: 2762773, member: 124243"] What are you running for wads? BP Pattern Driver? I used to shoot a lot of 10 gauge. I know you asked about a really heavy load but this is the best patterning load I ever shot out of my SP-10. It would throw 95% patterns of 2 or 4 lead at 40 yards with the Remington full choke. I found super heavy loads deformed a lot of shot and I ended up with equal pellets in pattern and much heavier recoil. This load would stone snow geese at 70 yards and mallards even higher if you could center a pattern. It was also more comfortable to shoot than the really heavy stuff. My dad grandpa and I all had SP-10’s and shot this load before the lead ban. Federal 3.5” Hull Fed 209A Primer 42 grains Blue Dot Ballistic Products Pattern Driver Wad 1 7/8 oz lead Original Buffer Depending on shot size you will need to put felt spacers in the bottom of the cup to get proper crimp. Still have the load data off of the last box I ever shot. [/QUOTE]
