what type of loads and shot are you putting thru it.

Stephen, if you like to shoot things at longer range or you like to shoot ducks over open water and big birds like geese and turkey you are going to love that gun.

If you shoot the Short Ten in any volume reloading is an absolute economic necessity. Some time ago I put a hastily put together video on YouTube on how to reload for the 2 7/8" 10 gauge. Here is the link to it below. If you click on "show more" text you will find a link to the PDF spreadsheet I put together of all published loads I have found.

As caretakers of these wonderfull pieces of American history it's our duty to put one back into working order when we can. i did much the same thing with a Gh damascuss 16ga 0 frame two years ago and she is back in the uplands where she belongs. Great job Pete I'm sure the next caretaker will appreciate your efforts.
