Hello all. Been a visitor here for a while and have enjoyed the wealth of info here. I've been a ten gauge shooter for years with a BPS but last year I stumbled across a mint SP10 in bottomland camo. Like a dummy I sold my browning. I have had a hard time finding what the remington likes. My BPS would consistently put 350-360 nitros in the ten at 40 yards. This remington seems to refuse to to do better than 175 with anything. I have finally tried some nitro straight 7s and again just about 170. I've tried jellyheads, both a .695 and a .690, and a pure gold .690. Tried the old economy triplex, all heavy triplex, the megaweights and federal HW7s. My patterns are more than sufficient, but I know they could be much better. Do any of you have any suggestions as to which direction I need to go? This is the short (23") barrel. Thanks in advance.
Hello i have the same gun, as do 2 of my friends we tried all combos and the only one that worked great!!! was a Kicks .685 or .690 with Fed HW #7's. We get 218-230 at 42 yds. with this combo. GOOD LUCK!! And these Fed HW penetrate like no other!!!!!
Sorry i forgot to add another great combo is a .690 Jellyhead and Mag Blends. 250-285! at 40 yds.
I have the 26" barrel and a jellyhead 695 and get about 220 with magblends
Thanks for the replies. Will try the magblends and will also try the kicks. I love the sp10, but performance-wise it is not in the same ballpark as my old BPS10. I'm used to patterns that would kill bumblebees at 50 yards.
With a kicks 690 in my browning the magblends done 306 and the heavyweight 7s done 230+
I know you said sp10 but just thought I would throw that out there
