I would not mind owning a big Ithaca 10 gabut have never committed on one...I like reading about them first 10 gauges they were almost legends in there time...I should have said they were legends in there time... 10 gauges shooting 8 ga loads....now you have lots of 12 ga s shooting 8 ga loads....2 1/4 to 2 1/2 ounces of shot...rough on the shoulder for sure...the heavest load back in the heh day of the 8 ga was a 7 dram of black powder and 2 1/4 ounce of lead shot....this was a factory load...I guess some reloaders may have loaded some heaver loads....I have shot some 3 ounce loads in the 8 ga and the 10 ga but they were my own reloads....
