Why I carry a 10

Yeah , I think it's at 900$+ if it were something nice like a quality collector grade double it would be tempting , but not for that money and especially if it it doesn't have a popular choke system , or can have a choke system put in it

But it is a over and under , and I think perhaps that may be the only o/u 10 ga ever made ?

If I could get a double for cheap , with double triggers , and thick enough barrel walls to allow re tapping it would be  very tempting

I handled one in a store here a few years back. It was really nice, but not $900 nice.  Mike

the question should be why carry a 12 or 20 when you could carry a 10 :fud: :OGani:

I figured it was because you hated turkeys.

Agreed, no such thing as over kill, nothing can ever be too dead.

 Like an old timer in Arkansas told me " with a 20 you need to be right on, with a 12 you need to be close, with a 10 you just need an address."

I don't see significant differences in pattern sizes between 20 and 10, just density - and with #7 hevi-shot, not even so much of that.  I hear #9 TSS is something all to itself.

To me the difference is the density.  I want a clean kill, and it just makes sense that 2 ounces of shot has more chance of hitting the "off" button of a turkey - and repeatedly - more than 1.75 or fewer ounces do.

I've been thinking about this lately. If you have 2  identical loads, a 2oz 12g 3.5, and a 2oz 10g 3.5, I would think that the shorter shot string of the 10gauge would have more pellets hitting the target at the same time in that millisecond of impact vs a longer shot string in a 12-3.5?

M R Ducks

I don't know for a fact, but I'm guessing the shot string length difference between a 12 and a 10 is closed to zero unless you buy into the hype of some of those wad stripping choke claims.  I also don't understand the practical difference between when 120 pellets hit a turkey in the head in the amount of time in question.  I just don't think some things matter unless you make a living convincing folks they do.

Yea, your probably right about that. I was just having one of those scratch your head and go "I wonder what if ???" moments, lol!
