Gentlemen,
A very knowledgeable LC Smith collector shoots Hevi Shot #4's in a LC Smith Long Range 12 Gauge. The Long Range Smiths have 3" chambers and a slightly tapered bore ending with choke constrictions of .040+" Thus far his trusty duck gun has suffered no damage.
Since I have a few cases of 12 ga 3" Hevi Shot, I wonder how well those shells would shoot perform from a 10 bore gun using gauge reducers? The larger bore would reduce the pressure somewhat or at least down to the 10 gauge limit of 11,000 PSI. A problem may be encountered from those "welding slag" pellets slipping past the front of, or through the slit in the wad as it expands to fill the bore. Do you have any experiance using Hevi Shot and gauge reducers in a 10 gauge Damascus gun?
Thanks,
Mark
