Two old guys, two old 10 Bores, 10 birds in the boat

[J.B. Books]

I don't think I can remember ever feeling a gun recoil when I was shooting at a bird. I doubt most people do but I do know one guy who shot at a goose with two factory 3 1/2 inch 10 ga loads of Bismuth out of an Ithaca NID and the recoil knocked him over. Do you remember that day Bill Janelle?

Yha, but remember the 3rd shot ? The 3 1/2 inch shell paid off than.
What hunting stories we could tell about each other over the last 45 years

I seen someone selling some of those loads recently on GI. Currently all my 10 gauges are 2 7/8"s guns. I have shot one 3oz 10 gauge load before and in a 9lb single barrel never again. I think at that point it may be time to step up to a 4 bore haha. I took my NH 10 ga to the range today to test some handloads I think it has some nice figure in the wood especially when the sunlight hits it.
