I would add, brass shells look nice but are a PITA. The 300 12ga brass hulls I had were sold to a cowboy shooter because I got tired of cleaning them and not having success with nitro powders. I buy new 10ga Remington hulls for about $45/100. That is a little costly, but a couple a hundred will last me for years seeing how I don't shoot them every week like my 12ga guns. We have many 10ga loads on this site and your paper wads can be substituted for the plastic wads safely - the pressures will be a little less. The inside diameter of a brass shell is larger giving a bigger volume, so pressure will also go down a bit. Many of the guys like 19grs of Red Dot [ or Promo ] with a 1 1/8oz of shot in the 10. That's a mild 12ga load and if it's mild in the 12 it will be safe in the 10.
