RM,
If you believe your gun to be a 10 drammer 60gr or Bluedot is light but increase with caution. I use 60gr in my 8 dram guns
Raff,
I am also located in SoCal and shoot at West End.
The barrels are marked "8-10 drams". I know using the BlueDot has to a be delicate matter. .1/2grain only in increasements. Using 10 drams of Swiss 1.5 gives me 1745 Ft/sec with a tephlon wrapped 900 grain bullet.
What kind of 10bore is your gun? Rifling etc?
Rm,
I have a couple of 10 bore pdxes a 6 dram gun true 10 .775 and a couple of 8 dram guns .805 (9bores)
The 8 dram guns regulate with 220grs ffg Swiss and a 925gr bullet and the 6 dram gun shoots center high to point of aim with either Bluedot 45grs or 180grs Swiss ffg and an 825gr bullet. The Bluedot loads are useable but the bp loads shoot spot on in the 8 dram. The 6 dram gun weighs 12lbs the 8 dram 13lbs +/- an once or two. I think 14 or 15lbs for a fully rifled 10 bore gun is about right weight wise.
Raff,
West End would be a bit of a drive for you but I don't think its 75m. It is a gated private facility its not the public facility further into the canyon that carries somewhat of a bad rep.
