Short Tens (At last!)

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

Mark,

Some guns have larger chambers and rim recesses than others. My Parker 10’s will accept a slightly oversized rim where my LC Smith 10’s refuse to close.

Just because of the linage I’d bet your Baker is closer to a Smith than a Parker in chamber and rim size.

Save those cases and trade to someone with a Parker 10! Or, if you have access to a MEC Sizemaster or resizing tool your cases may be able to be resized to fit your Baker.

I don't know if the MEC resizer is available in ten gauge. If so, maybe you need to buy one. I don't recommend sizing loaded shells, but I have done it. I use my PW 375 to size loaded shells occasionally. A shell sized in a PW 375 will fit in any gun.
