Hi Dave,

I agree with Harry on the value.

I love shooting the big 10 gauges but often do so with low pressure 12 gauge ammo and Gauge Mates chamber reducers. A 7/8 ounce 12 gauge load at what would generate 6000 psi in a 12 gauge (less in a 10 due to larger volume of the bore) will break skeet and many sporting clays targets surprising well.

Before and during larger shoots like the UP Classic I load and shoot 1 1/8 ounce low pressure 10 gauge in hulls trimmed to 2 7/8" long. I don't open the chokes on my 10 gauge guns. I do however use the BPI spreader "X" inserts for those in your face targets.

If you purchase rather than load low pressure ammo RST and New Era Ammunition (presently 10's are only available from RST) are both excellent. If you need low pressure loading data for 10 gauge send me a PM with your email.

Mark
