You can get the Mec Sizemaster for 10 gauge. You will need to order with this the short 10 kit (3 1/2 to 2 7/8) sold separately. It comes with a 2 oz shot charge bar so you will need to order the 1 1/4 oz. You should also get some extra powder bushings since it only comes with three when you buy it.

I bought the Mec Jig fixture mounted to an approx 18x18" piece of scrap plywood as a base then secured to the reloader. I did this for my 12 as well. I don't have a lot of space to permanently mount multiple reloaders. This way I can move which ever reloader to the work bench and fastened with C clamps or even on the kitchen table so I can watch football while I reload

Pete has a video how to shorten 3 1/2 Federals to 2 7/8. I'm sure he will chime in the link.

And make sure you get a good digital scale. You are going to need to weigh the powder charge since the bushings throw a lighter charge than the bushing chart states.

Here is a link how the Sizemaster works.
