I'm going to think about a ten. Yeah, I think reloading would be just the ticket.
Steve, reloading for the short ten is the only way to go if you are going to shoot any volume of shells through one. Just yesterday I hit 1800 2 7/8" 10 ga shells through a Parker NH since Fall 2010 shooting crows. Then there are many rounds of trap ans skeet and a bunch of non-tox loads at waterfowl.

My 1 1/4 ounce lead shot, low pressure reloads in 10ga cost me about $8 per 25. My savings though reloading the short ten is significant.
