Me too. 7mm metrics were enough gun. I am a fan of Roark and his USE ENOUGH GUN though. There’s a lot of good advice in that book.

Here is Elmer supposedly shooting the Magnum-Ten from the December 1965, Guns & Ammo.

Doesn't really look like old 500000 to me --

or it with the super ugly new wood --

For those that like old magazine ads here is one for an earlier Ithaca 10-gauge --

I had both and wanted to pattern them at 25 and 40 yards from a sitting position with my back against something like I’d be sitting in the woods . Back then I crawled the stock way more then I do now . Anyway the first shot from that thing with those shells opened up a whole new world . Now while I’d still like to have a Parker or Ithaca NID for 10 gauge 3 1/2” I don’t think I care to shoot the 2 1/4 ounce turkey loads in them any longer .
I had bought one of the Ithaca Mag 10s back in the 80s. I hand-loaded for it, and developed some pretty effective long range waterfowl loads. Had lots of fun with that gun. But that was back when I was a big, strong kid, and not much affected by recoil.
When shooting a 10-mag, you definitely would not want to have your back resting against an unmovable object. The gun is going to travel backwards, and either your body moves, or it gets mashed a bit.

I had a pair of the Ithaca semi auto 10’s inbthe last ten years a field grade and a DeLuxe . Also had a Browning BPS 10 one of these days I’ll get an Ithaca NID Mag 10 but the desire isn’t as great as it used to be . When I patterned that SP-10 I was a stock crawler to the Nth degree to the point that my nose was against/beside my thumb . At the first shot my eyes watered and I immediately felt beneath my nose and it was wet I “assumed” it was blood and after stomping around a bit I looked at my hand , that gun had literally knocked the SNOT out of me . Next couple shots as you can bet my nose was not against my thumb . Had a somewhat similar incident when I was working up loads for a friends 505 Gibbs only that wasn’t my nose the bolt handle got me in the web of the hand .

I acquired a M21 duck a few years ago. Bought it because it was in like new condition and it is great gun. Didn't enter in to my decision to buy it but it happened to come with Briley tubes in 20ga, 28 and .410. I've had more fun shooting it at clays with those small gauge tubes after duck season was over for the year.
