In "correct" terms the Super-Ten was the 2 7/8 inch, progressive burning powder, high velocity, 1 5/8 ounce load 10-gauge introduced circa 1925/6 --

Charlie, Dave great info and pics of the Super 10. I can only imagine the effectiveness on geese of 2 oz-3 oz. of lead shot. Those days are long past, but it is fun to read the old magazines.

I bought one of the Remington SP-10’s with a 26” barrel in 1990 . It was one of the first year guns as it had the 89 LE in the serial number . I bought that thing for turkey mainly and Federal was making a 2 1/4 ounce #4 or #6 load for it . I had both and wanted to pattern them at 25 and 40 yards from a sitting position with my back against something like I’d be sitting in the woods . Back then I crawled the stock way more then I do now . Anyway the first shot from that thing with those shells opened up a whole new world . Now while I’d still like to have a Parker or Ithaca NID for 10 gauge 3 1/2” I don’t think I care to shoot the 2 1/4 ounce turkey loads in them any longer .

I would not feel uncomfortable to shoot 2 1/4 ounce 3 1/2" tens in a fluid steel #6 frame ten gauge Parker. In fact, I may do that.

Sit down with your back against a tree as if you were about to shoot a turkey . Standing and rolling with the punch is one thing sitting an unable to roll back is a skoosh different .

i have fired the 3 1/2 inch 2 1/4 ounce load out of a parker that i have with 3 1/2 inch chambers it kicks but is manageable...killed a turkey with this same load and gun....fired a 3 ounce load out of my ithaca 10 ga magnum automatic itkickeds about like the double barrel 10 parker but would not want to fire the 3 ounce load in a double gun... as i looked at the first shell pictured which is a super x shell the thing i noticed was the short brass on it as compared to the other 2 shells...i have never seen the short brass before any idea s about this....charlie

Where’s Elmer Keith when we need him? Bigger is ALWAYS better with Elmer. Just for the fun of it.
