Most guys shoot 12 gauges these days especially with the advent of the 3.5 inch 12 gauge - I seriously doubt there will be a longbeard 10 ga load offering in the future , but never say never - if they did do it there stands a chance ,it would be the most popular selling 10 load

20 gauge is vastly more popular than 10 and Winchester is rumored to offer this in 2 years time

Rumor I heard was the machine they use to load these shells cost a lot and it's not cost efficient to offer it in other gauges because of the cost of new machines. May just be rumor but that's what I read

I read pretty much the same thing, they are not set-up for other gauges from a machinery standpoint. I doubt 10 gauge would ever be worthwhile for the Longbeards from an economical standpoint for Winchester.
