No doubt. I haven't loaded any 1 1/8 10 bore loads yet. I load 1 1/4 for ducks and geese. I haven't used a 10 on clay birds yet. But I will. The 1 1/4 oz. load in a 10 bore at around 1200 fps. is the ultimate duck and goose load, in my opinion. Great patterns, low pressure and short shot string, no doubt.
The old market hunter I often talk about used the 1 1/4 oz. ten bore load of #10's for market grouse before the turn of the 20th centaury. That is one man I would have liked to have met. He died in the 20's.
