The Short Ten - How many shooting one?

[Paul Harm]

Will, I have a BE, CE, and FE grade Remingtons. The CE has Etoile pattern damascus. If ever you need parts call Garland Jackson at 330-669-2138 [ he's in Sterling, Oh ] or Brad Bachelder at 616-459-3636, a master gunmaker in grand Rapids, Mi. Garland makes the most beautiful top lever springs for about $28 delivered . Brad is completely restoreing a 1873 Remington hammer lifter for me right now. He's also done damascus barrels, relayed ribs, and case coloring for me. The 73 needed a new stock and he knows a fellow with a bunch of original Remington stocks - I couldn't believe it. Those Remingtons were proofed for any shell [ for that time period ], so any kind of mild load will work just fine. For my Parker 10's I use 18grs of 700X, a SP-10 wad with 16ga filler cards and 1 or 1 1/8oz of shot. This is in a Remington hull cut to 2 5/8. Good luck.

58 of us here shooting a Short Ten (hard to keep the count accurate in the 2nd most replied to thread on the board).

Nothing like seeing a sporting clay explode like a firecracker when I hit it with my EH 10.

[10 bore]

if i had to keep 1 SxS shot gun( just 1?) it would be my 2 frame EH at 8 3/4 lbs and .025 choke each barrel this would cover all my type of hunting . but i don't have to have just one, so i have all kinds of shotguns scott

[Mills]

Mine is a 2 frame as well.

1 gun . . . perish the thought

[Bill Murphy]

I recently traded a rare lightweight EH 28" bird gun. At under eight pounds, it would be a wonderful one gun arsenal. I would have kept it but my 7 1/2 pound 27" DH 10 does the same job and is even lighter than the EH I traded. Can't remember how many of those 27" DH tens Parker Brothers turned out. What a gun, though.

Pete,
Don't count me again as I already responded. I did however jump ship from hammerless to hammer 10's. I found this old 2 frame E grade 10 with
32" barrels and had to have it.

That's a pretty one Pat.

Can anyone confirm this for me?

I do not have the info in front of me but a friend told me that Sherman Bells reciept for a 1 oz 10 ga load had a higher pressure than his 1 1/8 oz load.
(we are not talking much increase but it seemed odd to me)

[Smoothebore]

I also shoot a ten and reload Sherman Bells lowest pressure, also BP in Rocky Mtn Cartridge brass.
