Anyone have any information on 2&7/8ths. or 3&1/2 inch ten gauge shells loaded with steel shot for waterfowl? I can find the 3&1/2 ich shells, but not loaded with size 4 or 6 steel shot. Even the rocks don't last forever. | ||

You may be on your own here. Before I gave up on steel and switched to bismuth or tungsten polymer I had experimented with most sizes of steel and finally settled on #1 or B size for ducks. You can buy #4 or #6 steel for reloading. It looks like #4 is about the smallest factory 10 ga. ammo I can find. C.G.B. | |||

Who makes that? Number 4 shot is great, I just want something smaller than Number 2 or BB or larger. I used to load for my 10 gauge, but that was before the use of leaed was bannerd for waterfowl. I have not shot my 10 in 3 years or so and would like to take it out a few more times. I used to have fun with the various 10's I have owned, because I would use them to hunt Mourning Doves and folks really lose their sense of humor real fast, when some ass hole sends a 2 ounce load of 7&1/2 lead shot at a dove and the bird is still 40 yards or so away. Never did pattern that gun but if a bird was within the 40 to 45 yard range it never made it in close enough for the guys I was hunting with to get off a shot. They would get all pissy and whine until I moved to anothert location. If you can post the info where I might be able to get some iomn number 4 steel shot I will be eternally grateful. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Hevi Metal shows an all-steel load with #4 shot. Not sure where you can find them, just have to look around. | |||

Try Mack’s Prairie Wings in Stuttgart Arkansas. They are one of the largest volume sellers of steel loads in the U.S. | |||

Randle,I sold a buddy of mine a win. 1887 in 10G. a couple of years ago with a case of 3 1'2 " shells that I bought from someone here on AR. Problem is his 1887 takes the 2 7/8" shells which I have not been able to find.I'd love to buy him some shells as I hate to have sold him a gun he can't shoot. Also he has no need for those 3 1/2" shells. I'll put you in touch with him if you like.P.M. me for a phone #,he does'nt do computers. Best,Randy Never mistake motion for action. | |||
