IdahoCTDI shoot a 10ga for ducks and geese sometimes. For steel shot, 10ga rounds are typically 22-24 bucks. 3" 12ga can be had for as low as 7 to 8 bucks. Basically it's not worth your time to reload 12ga stuff but 10ga stuff is considerably cheaper if you reload.
Thanks for your help idaho. I am thinking about a zabala 10 gauge sxs.

k22hornetI just inherited a Zabala 10ga sxs. It will be my waterfowl gun for the next season. At this time, it does not lift the shell high enough to grasp and remove from the chamber. I had a 20ga Zabala that did the exact same thing.
I just loaded a few boxes of Bismuth using a roll crimp, and, as has been stated, you can save a lot of money by handloading the 10ga.
When my dad owned this gun, it started to double. Let me tell you, the recoil was fearsome.
