David, Check out Gauge-Mates and Chamber-Mates on the web.

David, I have a set Chamber Mates in 10 to 12 gauge that I use in my NH Parker with good results.

It was $60.00 for 2.2 pounds and they were offering free shipping last month.

Bill and Pete,

Nice Shot is $60 per 2.2 pounds (kilo) or $155 per 6 pounds.

The shipping is a flat rate of $8.

The trick about Nice Shot is that a little goes a long way due to great patterns! I previously posted of dropping two geese at 55+ yards (determined by a laser rangefinder) with 1&1/8 oz Nice Shot #2 at 1250 FPS. The pressure was around 8500 PSI. For a 40 yard shot I think 7/8 oz would be enough!
-- Note: 7000 PSI for the load plus an additional 1500 PSI for the extra hardness of Nice Shot and that is does not compress as much as lead when fired. Something to keep in mind!

Mark

I've loaded up some 1 3/8 nice shot BB's for the 10 bore. The big shot really seems to hit them like Thor's Hammer. I had thought about shooting 1 1/4 but there are only 72 pellets to a load of 1 3/8 and I wanted to keep pattern density up.

David, the ones I use are Gauge Mates. They sell a "Silver" pair for about $45 and a "Gold" pair for about $145. Buy the "Silver". There is a lip around the top that sits on the extractor. Grind everything off except what sits on the extractor you will then be able to remove a shell without removing the Gauge Mate. I have both and bought the Gold before I knew of this trick. The Gold comes with a brush, little tool to remove the Gauge Mate, and a case. It's not worth the money. Oh ya, the Golds only have enough lip to sit on the extractor. They work real good - had a pair that were 12ga to 28ga. Seemed to break skeet targets ok. They claim your chokes still work and not hardly any pressure loss. Paul

can you grind that lip off if going from a 10 to a 12. will it compromise the metal ?
