I just picked up a new in the box SP10 from the early 90's original bottomland it has a 23" barrel. Anyone shooting a 23" barrel? If so what are your results with your setup?
I had a extra 26 and it shot the same as my 23 so I sold the 26
my rusty memory is telling me that the 26 inch sp10's are actually all 25's .......
Ok.thanks. yes they are 25.5"
I have a 23 inch on my 10. Love it. Jelly head choke with hevi 13 is a great combination for me.

I have the 23 but wish i still had my first one with a 30 on it! Much better shooting gun IMO.

reading my earlier post , I obviously must have been inhaling too many engine fumes , I don't see where you asked anything about a 26 inch barrel , lol ...
tried many combinations with my 23 inch sp 10 but have come to rest on the kicks choke and federal hw number 7 combination , it routinely puts 200 pellets in a 10 inch circle and the patten is nice and big allowing for error , a fed7 pellet out of a 10 gauge will break a gobblers neck , I've seen stray pellets break a gobblers leg before at 40 , it hits with authority
the federal 10 gauge loads shoot at 1300 fps and has good patters and knockdown , and is real easy to buy at many places , and relatively affordable , stock up if you can
My cuz has the exact same one as you and it is a killing machine. Look at this bird I shot with it this past season. He's head was destroyed. I shot it about 30-yds away and never witness a bird bleed like this one. You would have sworn that I hit a deer in the lungs - simply unbelievable. I used Win Supremes #4s with a jellyhead choke. Good luck with it. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160828/643d048b74c334974c97a87dc684ca58.jpg)
