Actually Charlie there didnt seem to be much difference in felt recoil between the 3 and 6 frame which surprised me . I was going to take the 8 gauge but didnt want to haul 50lbs of gear to the range plus the Parkers really needed a day out
. I think it might be worth the effort to get into handloading for the 10 ga , the 1 1/4 oz bismuth load at 1250fps I really like a lead version would be ideal I think for other game that doesnt require non tox . The lead #4s pattern pretty tight even at 40 yards especially out of the hammergun .
So I just cleaned the primer on the loads that had soot on the primer and they are pierced .
