The Short Ten - How many shooting one?

[William Davis]

I don't think I responded either, but I have a Parker 10 hammer gun. Bought it at the fall Southern SxS. It's been out for some stock work, back home yesterday. Am working up short 10 loads for it. Last month or so putting components together and modifying my press.

Will post some photos and details later

I have been shooting short 10 Parker and others for a few years now with and without BP. Have most fun waterfowl hunting with my 10s. My Parker has been my lead/favorite field gun for a while.

J.B.- I shoot my 1884 grade 2 10 gauge, SN 41762. Works well on Canada Geese with hand-loaded 1 1/8 oz ITX #2s propelled by 30 grains of IMR SR 7625

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.
