I've got a Grade 2 top lever 10 on a 3 frame with 32" full and full barrels , that guns poisen with 0 handloads matter of fact I got a double with that gun shooting those handloads 4 or 5 years ago .

I've got a factory original EH 10 28" thats rather stout with 00000 buck . The first gun I ever shot handloaded buck in was my grandfathers circa 1881 W&C Scott crystal indicator 10 with 00 handloads . The Scott is way undersize for a 10 gauge at the muzzle but somehow it would throw a decent 25 yard pattern with 00 , But then when I started doing this 00 was the only size I messed with .I've got another EH 3 frame 32" full and fuller yet that does very well with 000 handloads and has taken a couple deer .
