You should talk with Scott Kittredge, Pete Lester, Frank Cronin - all PGCA Members who all load and shoot the short ten for all manner of waterfowl as well as turkey. Their recipes are VERY effective even at looong ranges.

Michael,
I have an 1881 lifter Parker with Twist barrels. Both have .030 constriction. I load a 1 1-4 oz load at about 1200 fps using IMR 4756 and nice shot. It is a little more expensive, but a viable option to shoot Kent Tungston Matrix 12 gauge shells inside of Gauge Mates. When I get to the computer I will post a picture. Harry |

Harry, could the bottom picture be of your old #4 frame gun that now lives at my house?

Yes, Bill. I hated to let it go as it was a killing machine. If I told you I got a double on pintails with it I would be admiting to be a poacher. They were crossing fast and in the heat of the moment I did shoot at a second bird, but missed. I hope you are enjoying it.
