The geese and ducks don't seem to realize it's not an 870 when I shoot them with my various double barrel 10 gauge guns.

Here's one of me and Davis a couple winters back out on the Eastern Shore:

Here's Flanders with his 10 gauge and a nice drake canvasback. He'd had a rough day, hammer screw broke off, but was still killing them:

I would love to bring home a beautiful turkey with my parker. The reason for my question on shooting a 10 gauge is that I have made a deposit on one, a hammer gun 1902 with "ring" barrels, forgive my ignorance. The gun is in good shape and looks all original. Where would one get ammo for a 10?

I believe after all the fun you guys are having with those ten gauges I will have to make the commitment. I will post some pictures of it when I figure out what I am doing. This is all new to me . I am a new member having a Parker for 20 years that I have not talked about yet. I am just really excited about meeting others who love the old doubles.

Rodney,I use RST shells in my 10's as I don,t reload 10 gauge. There are a few fellas here that load their own 10's.I'm sure they could help you out with some great loads....:)

Jim Williams 03-10-2010 07:45 PM

Mine are reloads, but RST makes a load that is almost (if not exact) identical. No more shells than I shoot in the 10 ga., I think I'll probably just buy from RST next time.

Destry, what is that 10 ga. that Rich Flanders has in your picture? It looks like a Parker hammer gun but without the hammers.

Oh, wait... didn't I read something about him losing a hammer and had to continue the hunt shooting just one barrel?

Destry L. Hoffard 03-10-2010 08:07 PM

Dean,

That's the deal, we were moving stuff around in the boat and it accidentally got knocked over. One hammer screw broke off leaving him shooting single shot, he still finished the day with a limit.

Rodney,

If you want 10 gauge ammo these are the boys to get it from. There just isn't anything or anybody better than RST for product quality or customer service.

P.S. We've got to watch it boys, we're getting almost as bad as Foxy on wandering off topic. This thread started out with some poor guy asking about a 20 gauge......
