I have gone as much as 27 grs Green Dot 1 1/4 oz shot. Safe in my Parker 10 but a little too much kick for clays. Dropped to 26 grs GD 1 1/8 oz. If hunting would use the 27 x 1 1/4 for sure.

On relative quickness charts Green Dot looks to be a good substitute for 7625

It's hard to measure 10 chokes but either load throws full choke looking patterns.

William.

we can still use no 2 shot in mississippi...i load one barrel with 2s and the other barrel with 5 or 6 s... my favorite load are the heavy loads..low power loads will kill good at 35 steps or less but must of my turkeys want to hang up at 45 to 50 steps most of the time...maybe i need new decoys they are old.....one thing for sure use the gun and load you like and you will kill turkeys...charlie

i shoot the 6's because it shoots the best in my gun. the blue dot is a good heavy load powder with low presser . i woods hunt and get my birds in close 25 yds or so. my grand son dropped 2 long beards with 20 ga with 1 oz of 6's at 15 yds and 35 yds. i use 6's because they pattern better than the 4's if the 4's shot better i would use them. in my 870 pump, i use 1 5/8ths oz of 4's because it shoots the best with them, you just have to test your gun on paper.

I am not positive what that equates to but it sounds like full and full. If that isn't correct some one please say so.
Wayne,

.796 and .730? That's a .066 difference. So either the barrels have been honed or they are oversized/overbored right from the factory (which is possible). At some point right before the last 3 inches of choke they may come down from .796 for a little bit and then go down to .730.

That would be some choke if it is .066. An XXXX full? .045 is very tight in the ten. Maybe blown patterns due to the constriction? Or did you mean to type .766 since you wrote that you had .030 choke?

I patterned my old lightweight AYA ten at 40 and 60 yards with my favorite factory load of 1 3/4 ounces of steel #2. At 40 yards, a mallard would have about twenty shot in the body when centered. At 60, that mallard would still have sufficient shot to kill. A goose would have had many more than required to kill. That gun has about .045 of choke. I still have the pattern sheets although the gun was sold to a friend.

Wayne, the plastic wads give a denser pattern. The shot cup will stop the shot from rubbing flat when it goes down the barrel.

As soon as I get time I think I will try pete's load with 7625 and 1 3/8oz shot. Just for kicks I may order some brass shells and try some black powder. Dose anybody know where I can find some paper 10ga hulls.
