The Short Ten - How many shooting one?

[Noel McCormack]

J.B.- I shoot my 1884 grade 2 10 gauge, SN 41762. Works well on Canada Geese with hand-loaded 1 1/8 oz ITX #2s propelled by 30 grains of IMR SR 7625

You're a lucky man to have some SR-7625. I will be shooting my NH Parker using ITX-original-10 #2 shot this fall myself. I ended up picking a recipe out the ITX manual using 44gr's blue dot & 1 3/8oz ITX #2

I shot some of these this week. I think they are going to be deadly on sandhill cranes this fall.

Hi Paul, what pressure and velocity is this load? Have you patterned it?

The ITX manual states the load is supposed to be 1200fps @ 7300psi. I haven't extensively pattern tested the load, but I did shoot a 30"x30" piece of cardboard at 40 yards with it the other day. I counted 125 pellet hits out of the approximately 145 pellets in the load. I'm sure it will be effective on the larger fowl like cranes & geese.
