Quote from: Old Gobbler on March 29, 2012, 08:42:04 AMI am interpreting the vantage point and meaning of the question posed is... why go bigger with a 10 if a 12 is more the enough for most peoples needs - Most people in the know now understand that the modern day 12 gauge 3.5 has been souped up to almost match the specs on the sales floor to reach the 10 . Combined with the radical improvements in shotshell and chokes focused on the 12 , it is very plain to see why the 12 /3.5 is the bread winner in the turkey gun marketplace , overwhelmingly popular because of its versatility and new found performance levels .It would be safe to say these 12/ 3.5 users are in fact "closet 10 gauge users" the performance capabilities of a modern set up 12 /3.5 with matching components far surpasses what anyone was capable of doing with a 10 gauge a dozen years ago , But if the focus of the question is why use a 10 ? or where lays the advantage , the only advantage in using a 10 ga for years now {we are talking 10 HTL vs. 12 HTL} is if you choose to shoot Nitro's , or the possibility of the Magblends - other than that , the added weight soaks of recoil and makes for a steady aim - If we are talking {10 lead vs. 12 lead} the 10 in my opinion has a clear advantage -

Quote from: robferg on March 30, 2012, 08:31:29 AMI wanted to know the advantages of 10 ga. I always wanted a 10 ga. and will be getting a new turkey gun soon. The only concern is the weight of the gun itself.
