The 10G Shotgun

[MeccaOz]

Just out of curiosity for those in the know.

Can you get 10G shotguns in Australia ? What's the price of Ammo?

I have been talking to an American mate of mine and he uses one for duck and geese, he says that he lives in an area where you can only use steel shot, and that steel shot doesn't hold velocity well so a lot of guys use them.

He did also say the with 3 1/.2 inch 12G shells you get almost the same payload but the patterns are further spread.

Anyone used one? have one? recommend one? hates them?

I don't know about other states mate but I can tell you it's illegal to duck hunt here in Victoria with a 10 gauge.

So no one uses them obviously... Here at least...

10 gauge is a pretty unfriendly shell mate.

Something like 30% more recoil than a 12 gauge. Too much for most...

They're available on a Cat A license here in VIC. You can still use them to hunt foxes and rabbits here but honestly why the hell would you for that...

High recoil for no gain, and I have no idea what ammo cost but it definitely won't be cheap as it's a rare cartridge.

One on used guns at the moment FYI.

Harrington & Richardson Pardiner 10 gauge.

$950 unused (according to ad).

why not! like anything a little bit more of something good is always better...

10g went out with the punt guns, not sporting like or some BS when it comes to duck hunting...personally I'd like to see Laurie loser's face when a bunch of hunters line up at the wetlands with some real big bores... he probably couldnt tell a 10 from a 12, only a mm or so difference in the bore, a 4 bore now.....that would be interesting.

pick the 4 bore.....

I was just at my LGS and reading the forum on my phone, thought I'd ask the guy about one for ya while I was there.

His answer was "Pwoar, you could get one by I don't know what the hell you'd want one for."

LOL, I guess the overwhelming majority say not worth it then,lol .. But now that 4 bore above looks interesting

I am not much of a turkey hunter but I like to go and a friend of mine had a antique double 10 gauge and no one wanted to shoot it and I said give me a round I'll do it I wanted to shoot it in the worst way I love old guns its like feeling a good looking girls bum u want to do it more then once.
He also had a colt woodsman I got to shoot and I want one .

At least it's black powder.

Imagine the recoil from that thing with nitro

My tablet changes words and I spell bad sorry.

You can never quite explain the recoil of these things well enough that people are actually prepared

[Monty]

We'll forgive it this once wrenchman

[Blackened]

Had your .416 go flying a few times, Norton?

[Norton]

I make sure to position myself to catch any falling rifles or shooters afterwards

[sarki]

Still laughing every time I watch that

[Harronek]

The 10 gauge was relegated to obscurity when they started making 3 inch and 3 1/2 inch chambered 12 gauge guns .

I have a mate that just bought a Jeffreys 10g s/s for 500.00. He is having problems finding ammo. Evidently the N.T is the only state that stock any ammo they get it from remington.

[<<Genesis93>>]

[wrenchman]
