We have/had over 100 of us owning and shooting a variety of vintage 10 gauge doubles, wow! Back in 2011 I would never have guessed it would be that many people. I suspect the combination of Sherman Bell's "Forgotten Ten" article and the availability of of 2 7/8" 10ga shells from RST really helped to bring the Short Ten back to life. They are great guns that come into their own when the birds are big or the range long. Thanks to those who have shared pictures of their 10's.

For me the turning point for using the 10 bore was the availability of cases and components from Ballistic Products. I was always fascinated by the 10 bore and wanted to hunt with one. With the availability of components from BP I could get my wish. I was a rabid fan long before Sherman Bell's article came out. My opinion is that if anyone is going to get serious about hunting with a 10 bore, they need to reload. You can load exactly what you want for a lot cheaper than manufactured shells.

To me the 12 was always a big bore. Damn, now I'm really considering a 10 after I just bought a M12 HD. Does this madness ever end??

Don’t forget, at the 2019 Southern SxS there will be a 10 bore shoot just like the new 16 and 20 shoots. Ishot my NH at a Vintager shoot today. Did pretty well with it too. Reloading is the only way to go.
