    10 gauge BP shotgun loading. Who does it ?

    So who's loading a BP 10 gauge shotgun ?

    There's plenty of data on line but local solutions wanted.
    Everything is hard to source for the 10 gauge
    But should be worth it for a bit of a laugh and get the BIG gun out working again

    Someone loads 10guage starter cartridges for old skool aero engines - up Auckland ways I think? Might not be much use but there are people that poke this stuff for other purposes. I recall they use them overseas in steel/slag production too...

    I've discovered that over here :spotlight" sell sheets of cork, various thicknesses.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.

    I have plenty of Black Powder, shot, felted wool for wads and hard card.

    But I still haven't got and 10 gauge hulls in hand yet.
    I know where some are that have been offered to me.

    I am learning via the internet what sort of load might work

    I also have a .750" ball mould on loan also if I want to send a big ball through the .735" extra full choke
