I shot some of these this week. I think they are going to be deadly on sandhill cranes this fall.

Hi Paul, what pressure and velocity is this load? Have you patterned it?

The ITX manual states the load is supposed to be 1200fps @ 7300psi. I haven't extensively pattern tested the load, but I did shoot a 30"x30" piece of cardboard at 40 yards with it the other day. I counted 125 pellet hits out of the approximately 145 pellets in the load. I'm sure it will be effective on the larger fowl like cranes & geese.

I shoot Parker 10's regularly too

I'm new to the short 10 and love it. Yesterday I was at the sporting clay range here in Colorado where the back 10 stations are long range...I couldn't believe how far out I was breaking clays. Plan to hunt sage grouse with the short 10 this September. I really appreciate all the info on here about reloading...that's my next venture.

Will be soon. Picked up a fairly rough lc smith grade 2 Damascus that is off getting restored. I want to use it for geese so I will probably have to reload. Still not seeing any nice shot at rst.

Jeff, it might not hurt to call RST and ask.

Here, but only two

Shot clays with mine today

Last year was my rookie year with my EH on geese. Love it. Got three. It's a stitch to shoot. Lots of grins. I'll try to post a picture or two. I'm not good at that.

Yep Add me to your list, a great Wildfowling piece, use it on the ducks and Geese and sometimes I have a bash on the clays.
