Re: 10 Bore fully rifled DR

Burrards "Notes on sporting rifles" (1920) page 5

4 bore-12 drams BP- 1882 grain bullet- velocity 1300Ft/sec-7400Ft/Ibs
8 bore-10 drams BP- 1257 grain bullet- velocity 1500Ft/sec-6290Ft/Ibs
10 bore- 8 drams BP- 875 grain bullet- velocity 1550Ft/sec-4660Ft/Ibs
12 bore- 7 drams BP- 750 grain bullet- velocity 1550Ft/sec-4000Ft/Ibs

I guess these old guys have never heard of fancy BC`s of ballistics...

If one should load smokeless in these gaugerifle cartridges..should it be shotgun powders...or fastburning riflepowder??.

I wonder if a "little gardenload" could be done in the 10 gauge with a simple round ball??

Could the 10 bore be loaded with two roundballs in each hull??(multipurpose load..hahaha)

If/when I get to reload this 10bore "thing" should I preferre shotgun primers or rifle primers
a la Fed 215 and such??.
