Feedback On A 10ga Goose Load

Just wanted to get some feedback about a Goose load I adapted from an Alliant load and a Reloading Specialties one.

Both original loads called for 45-47gr of Aliant Steel powder under 1 1/2oz of #BB Steel shot. What I am using is as follows:

10ga Remington Hull (Plastic Base)
Win 209 primer
45gr Aliant Steel
Sam 1 10ga Wad
1x 20ga 1/8" cork under shot
1x 12ga 1/8" felt under shot
1.5 oz #BB steel shot
1 mylar overshot card
eight fold crimp

So what do you guys think? The two undershot spacers are there because the Sam 1 is good for very large payloads so there is a lot of room without them. The cork 20ga fits very well in the tapered bottom of the wad and the felt spacer above it settles in nicely too. The overshot card for the perfect crimp.

The original loads were almost 1600fps but I think I'll get quite a bit less with the extra spacers. Either way as a 10ga load I think it will tenderize my shoulder nicely.

You don't need our comments, you'll get plenty of "feedback" when you touch her off !!
Have fun but I'll stick to my 12 gauge wingmaster.

It seems pretty hot, so I loaded 100 of them

Now to do some lighter loads in case these ones are a little uncomfortable...

Maybe you should throw in an extra grain of powder, I'm not sure its gonna be enough for them geese. Might make an alright duck load though...lol

47 gr. of powder. Unless you are a big boy, it can drive you into the slough like a tent peg!

Where can you practice with a load like this? Not at a gun club that's for sure.

Now long did it take to make 100 rounds?

Let us know how this goes.

Why couldn't you practice at a gun club with it? I've never belonged to one, and have never heard of any restrictions as to how heavy you can load a shotgun round. Its really no different than what you could buy at the store...
