10 Ga Loads
Elmer Keith was a heavy load fan, but he speaks quite glowingly of the traditional 1 1/4 ounce ten ga load in his book. Although you may not see any metal problems with heavier loads, watch for a little chip forming in the wrist of the stock behind the top tang of the frame, or a widening of the inlet gap around the tang.
Is your 3 frame gun stamped NH or PH on the water table? Best, Austin |

I shoot 1-1/4oz loads in my 10ga hammer gun for ducks and geese. Ask Destry how effective they are when I do my part. Recoil in the heavy gun is no problem at all. You'll quickly learn to love your 10ga Dave.....guaranteed!

The Hammerless gun is stamped PH on the water table. Kearcher examined it, I can't remember the min WT but he thought it would be fine. He also advised the use of the lighter load. I'll stick with 2oz and under for waterfowling with this one. As for the hammergun, I thought I'd order up some 1-1/4 oz RSTs. What fun shooting the hammergun (after the experiment we shot a few offhand). How am I going to live with just this one 0 grade gun???
