The first 10 gauge I ever knew was this W&C Scott back action that my maternal grandfather acquired right after WWII and since his passing eight years ago I've owned it .
When I was 19 my dad bought this Ithaca NID Grade 2 and we never fired it until maybe 4 years ago , we'd had it over 30 years . Two years ago I believe I picked up a circa 1890 LC Smith Quality 2 . And in the last two years I've acquired a 1882 Parker Lifter , 1884 Parker Grade 2 top lever and an 1889 EH . In the past I owned a Remington SP-10 semi auto , a pair of Ithaca MAG-10's and a Browning BPS all for 3 1/2" 10 gauge . As to the 10 gauge 3 1/2" I'd love to have a Parker and/or Ithaca NID 3 1/2" gun ! |

it depends on the barrels- that is also true for fluid steel as well if the barrels are in safe shootable condition, yes RST shells are made for vintage guns

All of my 10's are damascus except my Ithaca NID . And I load everything as if I'm shooting it in a damascus gun then there's no accident of using the wrong shells . If I had an Ithaca NID Mag 10 or a Parker Mag 10 I'd load the 3 1/2" shells for them and it would be no issue either since the shells were obviousely longer . |

I have used couple hundred RSTs in my Damascus Parker mostly to get the hulls. They do just fine. 1 1/8 oz nice target load. My reloads duplicate them. Have some 1 1/4 oz RST # 6. It's some shel,l way it breaks clay's hard to imagine any need for more power. Saving them for Crows.
