Everyone I've ever talked to says a 10 gauge kicks like the devil, the worst you'll ever shoot, but I wonder if that's totally true. It doesn't throw any more lead any faster in turkey loads, and the guns are heavier, so why would it kick harder? The only reason I can think of for a 10 gauge would be waterfowl and turkey since it doesn't deform shot as much. Anyone know any more on the subject?
