Those black box Supremes were great. That's what I settled on back when I had my SP-10 10 gauge. I don't see the advantage of using loads that kick the sh*t out of you. 1 5/8 to 1 7/8 oz at 1300 to 1350fps in my BPS or AyA Matador ll 10 ga are very effective on flying birds. Maybe those folded wings on standing birds are Armour plating?...mb I'm sure the right load is one of these, or somewhere in between. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/R2TOVpE.jpg)

no but I think the Shotgun Scientist on YouTube tried them on there YouTube channel. Lol Not a really scientific analysis but showed that they are good out of their BPS 10 I believe. I load 3oz and they are the most impressive patterns I have ever seen, so I imagine the Salt Creek would be also.

One of the birds I shot with Remington 4s was maybe 25 yards out. Feathers may still be coming down.

3 1/2" means different things to different makers. I finally got out for a little while and shot my BPS with the Double X and the Remington, using my Briley X-Full choke. Recoil is not bad. Both about the same - Winchester 2oz at 1300fps, and Remington 2 1/4oz at 1210fps. Patterns were a wash. Both patterned very well at 40 yards. Nice even pattern. I haven't tried my the Federal Grand Slam #5s or the Federal Customs #9 TSSs, or even my Indian Creek choke. Will give them a much better test before spring. I do know this, I'll be hunting with my Primos Trigger Stick. That barrel is heavy and holding it up steady for any period of time is going to be a challenge. That Browning feels way more muzzle heavy than I remember my SP-10 being. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/xzzkHQT.jpg)

I use Winchester Super X 2 7/8" #4 shot. For waterfowl I use Federal 3 1/2" BB or #2. I have a pack of slugs too. They kick terrible. Still if my gun shot them straight I'd use them for deer

I ordered some salt creek in 3oz tss. They are nothing short of impressive. Shoots alittle high but will work great at longer ranges. The weight of the bps absorbed a lot of the recoil.
Ready to try it on the turkeys.

Gun store I frequent has a really nice, all camo, SP10 in the consignment rack for under $900. My days of 10ga 3-1/2" are over, so I'll use the savings to buy some more 20ga TSS! Lol!
