10 gauge Damascus lifter

[Mike Franzen]

The brass shells - black powder are probably your best bet. Several years ago I wrote an article the Parker Pages about loading 10 gauge black powder brass hulls. Maybe 2015 give or take. (PGCA members have online access to every edition of the magazine). The loads you can work up are a lot of fun and can bring the full potential of the 10 gauge. I dropped a Turkey at 70 paces with no problem. The old loading tools are easy to find and the booklet Jay mentioned gives detailed instructions. Good luck and keep us posted.

I reload 8 and 10 gauge brass shells and never used black powder. I too wrote an article on reloading 8 gauge brass shells with only with smokeless powder for a Parker Pages article several years ago. Several Turkey's and a grouse have been taken using those shells. The 10 gauge Track of the Wolf shells have been successful for taking many dove. Light smokeless powder loads can be used in brass shells in my opinion.
