I have seen this being the case with 10 gauge doubles , seems most 10 ga 2 7/8 doubles fall in around 9.5lbs and then sometimes you see the 10lb+ ones and the extra weight is in the barrels .

I think the MWT on my 6 frame 10 gauge is .070 if I recall correctly , but on the smaller 10 gauge frames I see something in the range of .040 most of the times .
