Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Shooting the Tens

In hindsight, it wasn't worth going. I got to the range and discovered my Indian Creek Chokes weren't in my choke cases, they were still sitting on my shelf.

Anyways, I did test some loads through the stock OEM full chokes and some aftermarket XFull chokes.

Browning BPS 10 gauge OEM full choke and Federal Custom #9 TSS 2 5/8 oz at 40 yards (laser verified):


And with Briley Extra Full .735:


--

OEM Full and Remington Premier #4 2 1/4oz


Briley XFull


--

OEM Full and Federal Grand Slam #5 2 oz


Briley XFull


--

OEM Full and Winchester Double X #5 2 oz


Briley XFull

Here is where the 10 gauge really shines. Big course shot. 00 buck loads, 18 pellets, at 40 yards.

And Browning BPS .410 with OEM full choke and Carlsons TSS choke .385 at 30 yards (laser verified).

OEM Full and Federal TSS #9 13/16 oz


Carlsons TSS choke


--

OEM Full and Winchester Double X #7 1/2 3/4 oz


Carlsons TSS choke

2 5/8 oz on 10's should have put 500 holes in that 10"

Well, the tightest choke I had with me yesterday for the 10 was a .735. My Indian Creek is a .690. But I left that at home. I'll get out soon and reshoot through the Indian Creeks. But I think they patterned pretty well through the .735.
