This gun bent like a wet noodle and moved 1/2" at the heel. It went from the usual 1890's ton of drop to a more shootable 1 5/8" x 2 3/4". I got lucky in that regard. |

If you shoot the Short Ten in any volume reloading is an absolute economic necessity. Some time ago I put a hastily put together video on YouTube on how to reload for the 2 7/8" 10 gauge. Here is the link to it below. If you click on "show more" text you will find a link to the PDF spreadsheet I put together of all published loads I have found. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owXs4Eg__BE |

As caretakers of these wonderfull pieces of American history it's our duty to put one back into working order when we can. i did much the same thing with a Gh damascuss 16ga 0 frame two years ago and she is back in the uplands where she belongs. Great job Pete I'm sure the next caretaker will appreciate your efforts.
