i hunt with a short ten quite often, i have hammer and hamerless (not really- the hammers are just on the inside) - i do not find them too heavy to hunt waterfowl with - although i would not drag one through my woodcock covers
cannon or not depends on how you load it- 1 1/8 for clays or 1 1/4 for birds seems to be light on the recoil -
i reload for them with lead for clays and non tox for hunting- go to the shotshell reloading forum - and download the spread sheet
