Wayne,
No, they won't shoot denser patterns. What choke and shot size and how much shot?
Forty to fifty yards is stretching any amount of shot in a short ten. Even if you are shooting 1.5 ounces, forty is the ethical maximum range of this gun. If you are using the low pressure data for the ten, the speeds are no where near a modern high power shell (1300 fps). Shoot at a very large sheet of paper and you may see the shot has dropped from point of aim at these distances.
If you are shooting full chokes, use plated shot (copper), unsplit shot cups, and buffer. There are several loads on the short ten data that use wraps instead of SP10. These may work better also. Just my two cents. Others may disagree.
