I don't have a Parker short ten (at least not yet) but I do have three Remington short ten hammer guns. Two of them are 2 5/8" and one is 2 7/8".
Required Parker content: the only 10 gauge all-brass shells I can find are the Parker reproductions from Track of the Wolf. I bought some to make black powder shells, but they aren't cheap - over $7 each. Ouch! Wish there was a less expensive source. This is a great, long-lasting thread! |

If you don't want to use brass you can use paper hulls. Federal and Fiocchi make nice paper shells. Then you don't need to deal with plastic fouling in your bbls. Use fiber/card wads too and the bbls will be cleaner.

My bad, I was thinking 12g. If I loaded BP for 10g I'd try to find paper hulls or use plastic hulls with fiber/card wads. If they were used hulls, I'd throw them out after using it as the heat from the BP may make the plastic deteriorate.

Ballistic Products is selling plastic, new, primed Federal 10g hulls that can be cut down.
https://www.ballisticproducts.com/Fe...tinfo/0621035/ Review: Tough hulls! 7/10/2014 Im running black powder thru these hulls. I made a handloading set and reload them with steel and lead. 95-100 gr. 2F bp. I have 5 reloads and the hulls still have at least 3 more left. Great, great product - Josephine Sullivan, ME |

The one time I used my 10ga hammer gun to do my "outhouse shoot" I found that I got small holes burned in both once-used and reloaded hulls. Black powder and plastic hulls are a bad idea unless you only intend to use them once.
