10ga loads ?

[Paul Harm]

I didn't really want to go to the paper wads because it takes so many with nitro loads. I need over an inch of cushion wads with 1 1/8 oz loads - and that's in 2 5/8 " shells. Paul

hi paul, i shoot the same load out of my 2 frame gun at 8 3/4 lbs and the loads are just fine, you should be able to hold the gun with one hand with out dropping it. out of my 9 lb gun its is nothen. something does seem wrong with the load if it jumps that much. 700-x should have little flakes of yellow in it. does yours? keep us posted. scott

Paul, I had the same problem with a 2 5/8 chamber 10ga. It wanted to jump right out of my hands. It was really tough to hold on to. At the time I could only find Sherman Bell's loads. His hunting load made the bad recoil. I just switched to his target load at 4800 psi and it worked fine. Like BIG Friend Ten said, it had something to do with the sharp step at the end of the chamber. For lowest pressure loads, it was okay. I've since sold the gun.
