I'm always amazed everytime I see this topic brought up the same thing stands out from the guys that bang on the 10 gauge.RECOIL,RECOIL,RECOIL.You guys that take a 12 gauge and shoot 10 gauge shells out of it should expect to get your socks rocked off.You want to shoot a heavier load with less recoil than buy a bigger gun.I've shot both 12 and 10 over the years and a 3 inch magnum loaded like they are today rocks me harder than my own 10 gauge loads.I shoot an Ithica mag 10 and have for years and my wife has even shot it.Its an auto and is heavy and takes much of the recoil out of the gun.I can shoot both my 12's,REM 870 express and Winch Ranger with 3 inch magnums and they both will out kick my 10 by a bunch.Yes you guys are exactly right in suggesting that a 12 will get the job done,but so will a 10 and I like the confidence and odds I have in sending 2 1/8 ounce load of #4's traveling at 1240 fps at a gobbler head and neck out there at 35 yards.(My own personal reload)My reccomendation if you want to shoot a bigger load more comfortably than buy a bigger gun,an auto to be exact and you wont be dissapointed!I know I sure haven't!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
