doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Sherman Bell Load Data?

I was looking at a spread sheet for 10ga load data. Many of the loads were listed as "Sherman Bell Doublegun Journal" as the source for the data.

Is anyone here familiar with this data?

It was put out in the Parker Gun Collectors site.

The particular 10ga load I'm interested in is:

Federal hull
W209 primer
35.0gr SR4756
Rem SP10 wad
1.5oz lead shot

1221fps

7600psi

Volume eleven, issue 3 of the Double Gun Journal is where you can find Bells 10 gauge test info.

That might have been a "tested" load, not commonly found in any reloading manual. If it is on the spread sheet from "J. B. Brooks", on the Parker site, he noted where each load was from, if he knew. His data has been very good. Some loads were published, some from powder websites and some had been tested for pressures and velocity. Checking volumes 1-5 of Lyman I see a similar load(s) using the Remington 2 7/8 hull with 57 primers, Volume 3 which is about the end of short ten loads. Do not have my BP Mighty 10 manual near me to check, but it might be listed in there. Now I need to figure out where my mighty ten manual is or who I loaned it to. You can purchase and download the BP Mighty ten manual. I need to think a bit and figure out which safe place I put it.

This might make it easier for others to follow along and see where our information came from that you are trying to verify.

Thank you very much for putting this up Jon. I was only working with a smaller screen shot.

Tomorrow I’ll check my data from the old ten gauge reloading data for you. Will report.

Is this the one you were looking for? I have it as a PDF and copied and pasted it, unfortunately it did not copy the chart lines separating the loads.
