[QUOTE="Maddog, post: 227766, member: 5355"] IMO a misconception. I have and shot a 10 gauge a lot. It is more of a push than a sharp rap like from a 12 gauge. :) Plus with the increased payload (# of shot) your range is greater than a 12 gauge -- was especially true before they came out with 3-1/2" 12 gauge. I took a wingshooters class from the DNR. I am NOT a good shot. But learned hunters in general use TOO tight a choke and shoot at TOO far of a distance. Good luck!! [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] When steel shot first came out I did a lot of field testing with loads and chokes. At that time a 10 gauge was best with BBB shot and an improved mod choke. The 12 gauge just didn't have it. Now loads have improved dramatically and a 12 gauge can do great. If I go on spring snow goose hunts I always bring my 10 gauge. It will outshoot most of the 12 gauges out there. Maybe somewhat driven how poor of shots most people are. [/QUOTE]
