I have a case of RST 1 1/4 oz 5’s and sometimes use it on pheasant. I should use it more . The gun was originally sold to New Hampshire, I assume for woods grouse but it is heavy for a grouse gun.

Wow! I imagine the patterns and shot strings for that 10 would be conducive to taking grouse in the thickets. And I’ve seen guys carrying heavier 12s in the grouse woods. I don’t mean to pester you with questions, but I would be curious to know the stamped, unstruck barrel weight and actual weight for those barrels.
