I dunno about killing anymore ducks with it . But if I live long enough and the river don’t rise I’d be willing to bet a tidy sum that it kills a deer with one of my handloads

I'll be shooting the "boathouse" in the 10 gauage challenge .

I have killed numerous snow geese and several sandhill cranes with my 2 7/8" EG. Handloaded with bismuth shot.

I did read most of this but Im still confused as why the 2 7/8 is called the short ten, what is the 2 5/8 called Shorty ?

I think the 2 5/8 is slightly earlier than the 2 7/8s . From what ive read though the 2 7/8 became more or less the standard 10 ga length . But when you mention the 10 ga to most people they automatically think of the 3.5 magnum . So the 2 7/8 is the short 10 ga compared to the 10 ga 3.5 . I don't think 10 ga 2 5/8 guns were as mass produced as 2 7/8s .
