Anyone use a 10 gauge?

Well you are a HULK . Do you turn Green when you hunt.

That's my secret. I'm always green

Or going Whitetail deer hunting with a 30-378 with 245gr in Wv limited to 200yds.

Prolly about to pick up a browning gold 10 from a retiring-from-10 gauge- family member. It's all he's ran on geese and crane for a long while. Only reason he's putting it down is his shoulders are bad and he can't swing the big ole 10 effectively anymore.

I used my Bighorn Armory 500 lever on some beaver!!!! That makes a big kerrplunk!!! A pile of H110 and 350 grain xtp at last light ya need sunglasses for the muzzle flash tho out a 18" barrel!!! 10 gauges are heavy for the most part just don't compete with modern 3.5"12 gauge loads and guns. Seems like technology forgot about the 10 gauge about 20 years ago!

Pfffff! That's nothing! You really wanna see some carnage you hit them with a 3/4 ton at highway speed…as in, "farmer is on the highway…driving like a madman on a parts run during harvest". My dad basically turned a deer inside out

I know it's not harvest time but I think I saw parts of that deer yesterday along the road

Twas a long time ago haha. But normally he drives like, well, and old farmer. But there's a special "bat out of heLl" kind of driving that only old farmers on parts runs perpetrate

The ones that make a mess are the Tractor Trailers, all you see is a fresh red spot on the highway for a hundred feet and fur balls and it covers the whole road.

I think only Browning

It's all I found too. Just did some searching haha.

Used gun sites and auctions are where to look I suspect.

First gun I ever fired was a 10-gauge Parker SxS. I must have been about 8. A poor red squirrel got turned into goo and I ended up rolling down a hill a__ over tin cup. Apparently, the owner of the shotgun was a veteran of this kind of action and was somehow able to catch the gun.

I still use a 10-gauge Browning BPS for geese. Seems that the 3-1/2" 12 gauge are more popular these days which no doubt affects 10-gauge sales.
