[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1599142, member: 92702"] The only way you can increase range of a shotgun is to increase both pellet size and density. Then you have pattern density to contend with at extended ranges. This is why the 3-1/2" 12ga will never compete with the 10 at long range. It is the same as a 3" 20ga vs 12. The larger bore just handles larger shot better. IMO you should never shoot shot smaller than BB in a 10ga at waterfowl, only exception is tungsten 2's. You lose all the advantage of owning one. And, I only shoot BB's early in the season or at small ducks. With steel 2's there is no advantage over a 12ga. Maximum range is obtained with a 12ga. There is a small advantage with BB's, and BBB's make a big difference. Tungsten is off the charts. Tungsten BB's and BBB's handloaded in a 10ga nearly double the range of a 12. [/QUOTE]
