Try some smaller buckshot . I found in the ones I have , the tight barrels seem to like the somewhat smaller shot .

In my Ithaca NID 10 gauge I load of all things #3 Buck in the right barrel and 000 in the left barrel and that guns choked tight and tighter .

I have an LC Smith Quality 2 10 gauge that likes #1 buck in both barrels . My Parker Grade 2 top lever hammer gun and my EH both seem rather happy with 0 Buck .

Now with all that in mind very rarely do I ever take a shot with buckshot past 30 yards unless I'm shooting at a wounded animal . Also bear in mind ALL of the buckshot I've loaded to date for the 10 gauge has been in a SP-10 wad with the petals still attached . And lately everything gets WIN Grex buffer .
