I have had a 10 double on me and that was not too bad, but I hope the 8 never does that to me.

as for the 10s- I think I shoot clays more often with a 10 than any other guage, just plain fun

If I ever get an 8 and then acquire atleast a 600JR style loader to load the darn thing I think I'd have to do a round of Sporting with it and perhaps a 50/50 skeet and trap with it 😉

My 10 Hammer is a Parker and immediately noticed as a 10. Hammerless 10 am making do with a 32 inch Ithaca until the right Parker comes along. It's a pretty impressive gun on clays courses, looks like a 12 until it sits in the rack next to one, or when it dusts targets.

I think you will find some of the loads we use are milder than Factory RSTs, to me anyhow. And a whole lot less expensive.

I thought my 1881 Parker lifter 10 was cylinder and cylinder until we measured the bores. Both barrels had .801 bores with .030 constriction. 1 1/8 oz loads are a delight at clays and dove while 1 1/4 oz for duck.
