My Grade 3 10 gauge lifter factory letter states that my gun will put 480 #8 pellets in a 24" circle at 45 yards! Havn't verified that on paper yet but it kills or breaks everything I point at! I regularly break 25 straight on the skeet course with this gun by using Gauge Mate 12 gauge inserts. I can shoot off the shelf 1 1/8 oz loads with no problem. I probably have well over 3000 rounds thru this gun and it is still tight as a tick.

Cheers!

FINALLY I did it! Today, the second day of the 2017 Iowa goose season I got a double on geese with my EH short ten. It wasn't the prettiest pair in the air ever shot with a Parker but it was a true pair and a great way to start the season. Now if I can relearn how to post a iPhone picture.

Looks like there are quite a few short 10 "users." I am also one. I have a GH Parker, a 3 grade Hammer Parker (currently at Brad Bacheldor's), an Ithaca Hammer 10, and a W.C. Scott hammer gun in the short ten. Great fall turkey guns, and they'll reach out for high squirrels, too. I shoot the lightest loads from RST and have started setting up to reload my own.

I just the thread again and realized( or maybe missed it ) I have not added my GH grade 2 frame with 28 inch bbls, gun weighs 7 1/4 lbs... I also picked up a 32 inch Greener that weighs in at around 11 lbs ,the Parker is a 10 you could carry all day !
