Anyone use a short 10 for dove ?

I use 1 1/8 RST on doves in my grade 3 hammer and used inserts with AA. 1 1/8 oz. 7 1/2's. Will try both RST loads in my heavy EH and probably some 12 AA with inserts. Very tight chokes always makes it interesting. High flyer Whitewings don't like me!!

Well the reason I was looking at the RST a 1 1/8 oz load is because I have experience with them . I shot a case of them out of the Bonehill hammergun I had it was 10lbs and didnt have much recoil . The two loads are the same price though and the 3ft lbs of recoil difference in my 6 frame seems negligible .

Although , I may pick up a LC Smith 10 gauge next month and its 10.5lbs so the 1 1/8 oz would probably be more comfortable in that gun .


I used to have a set of the gold gaugemate adapters 10 ga to 16 ga , The 16 gauge loads actually kicked pretty good in the 10 ga . I think they were 1 1/8 oz at 1450 fps .
