Here is the load data that the former owner worked up with Cal Pappas,
author of
The Double Rifle Primer,
The British Bore Rifle, and
The .600 Nitro Express.
Reloading data with a 700-grain ball:
70 grains of Blue Dot or 220 grains FFFg (3F) black powder. Both loads will give
1550 to 1600fps.
Easiest way to reload is to buy a single stage MEC 10-gauge press with a short
kit for 2 7/8” cases.
You can deprime, prime, add powder, set the over powder wad to the correct
pressure.
Then add spacer wads by hand and place your projectile in the case
Crimp with Buckstix tool
For spacer wads, punch 3/4” diameter felt wads from carpet backing felt in any
flooring store
Or use Remington SP-10 shotshell wads and trim off the shot cup petals
