Default RE: Do we need new rounds?

I would like to see 10 guage shotgun rounds loaded to significantly higher velocities so that the full potential of guns like the Remington SP-10 Magnum couldbe reached. I realize that10 guages were popular about 100 years ago and some of those guns are still around and they would be dangerous to shootwith loads that a modern robust shotgun like the SP-10could easily handle, but would it not be possible to put a warning label on the package that specifies what 10 guage models the ammunition can be safely used in. It is ridiculous that the 10 guage ammunition on the market hasthe same shot load and muzzle velocity as 12 guages with 3 1/2 magnum loads. The 10 guage does pattern better than the 12 guage with that load but it would also be nice to have both a better pattern and a heavier and faster load.
