RE: Ten gauges in your opinion
I have a Browning Pump Shotgun - 10 gauge and it will out shoot the best 12 gauge 3 1/2 inch magnum you can show me.
It doesn't try to shoot a 10 gauge load through a 12 gauge barrel - so the patterns are not long and stringy. They are tight and circular like a 12 gauge trap load through a skeet barrel.
It's great for reaching out for ducks and geese that arebeyond the rangeof your 12 gauge shotguns.
