In the TM, I've killed a shameful amount of ducks with the 1 1/4 of #5.

The 1 3/8 load of #3 is death on geese.

Thanks Destry.

I was planning on getting some of the Kent TM (2 3/4") shells in # 3 and # 5 shot.

I was going to shoot them out of my # 2 frame 12 gauge DH with D4 32" barrels (ca. 1895, in nice shape). Then, in a pinch, I thought I could even use these shells in my EH 10 gauge, with ChamberMate silver inserts.

Unofficially (off the record) does this sound OK ? [Pressure-wise]

They're hot, I'd never recommend shooting them in damascus.

Have I done it? Sure

If I were shooting hot 12 gauge loads at waterfowl, and owned a 10 gauge damascus gun, I would shoot my 12 gauge shells in 10 gauge chambermates. It's just easy, and it's very cheap, compared to any alternatives.
