10 gauge ammo request
 

I recently purchased a 10 gauge Parker and would like to participate in SxS competitions. Obvious issue is shell availability. Does anyone have knowledge on access for 2 3/4 length, #7.5 or #8 loads that are available for sale? Thank you for consideration. Alan Speir

Your best bet would be to watch the RST website for availability and act quickly.

Are you sure you need 2 3/4" shells most Parkers in 10ga were chambered for 2 7/8". RST doesn't list 10ga shells on their web site and Morris Baker had no idea about availability at the Vintage Cup. I think the only alternative is to reload.

When we were at Rock Mountain end of July he told me 10 gauge components were not even on the horizon for him to get back in production .

Alan, the problem you will most likely run into if you can find 2 3/4" 10g shells is they are probably loaded for heavy game loads. Those are tough on our 100+ year old stocks.

Currently all the components you'd need to reload for the 10 gauge 2 7/8" are in stock.

Make your life easier and get some 10- to 12-gauge Gauge-Mates and use 12-gauge shells.

Blasphemy blasphemy ! Shot 8’s in 8’s and 10’s in 10’s :rotf::rotf::rotf:

I agree 100%

I beg to differ . Checked both BPI and Precision neither had Remington or the Gualandi style wads . Plenty stuff for steel which I’m not using or you could do it with all fiber wads , don’t plan on going that route either .

Ah see all I use is fiber wads and nitro cards only loads I have with plastic wads are whatever RST loads I have left.

Couple of months ago I wrote Claybuster wads and inquired about them making a Remington clone SP10. I had 2 replies from them thanking me for my interest in their company one from the product specialist and the second from the Vice President. Their reply was they would make note of my interest but at that time they weren't going to make a 10 gauge wad. If a few more people and RST (a manufacturer) wrote them, it may just change their mind.

That’s the same reply I got from them a month or two before you asked them . I remmember we sorta had the discussion about this before . I wanted them to make the SP-10 and SP-8 and of course as you are well aware NO CIGAR :banghead:
