Hi all, looking for advice on ball size for my 10g
I have read through the thread by "goodsteel" and am attempting to do similar
I plan to go with a column like this ----> 41g of SR4756 = Plastic Gas seal = Column of Fibre = Filler support = Round ball
I also like him want to put it on a 3.5" 10 Gauge hull. Roll crimp at first then I have some full brass so instead of the roll crimp eventually go with a bees wax seal (which I do on my .410).
The only thing I am worried about is the size of the ball. My 10g is cylinder bore, no choke and stamped .775 I was thinking of using a .770 or .775 round ball, but goodsteel used a .780
This scared me as in his pic it will no fit in the barrel without pressure and have to swage its way though the barrel slightly.
I load a lot of 12g slug, but all are Sabot. I also do .410 round ball, but do use a .400 ball. I really dont want to sabot the 10g.
Looking at a few threads on here I have seen some of the 12g round ball loads also using a ball a couple of thou bigger than the bore.
Is this normal / safe and or recommended, or have I missed something ?
Many thanks, Mike
