Got a lot of responses on the 16 and some good ones at that.
I have always yearned for a 10 gauge! It seems it has also gone the way of the dinosaurs, even possibly more than the 16. Ammo is even harder to find for the big 10 than anything else.
I know we now have the "super magnum's" in the 12 with 3 1/2" shells and I think I have even heard of a 4" but I could be wrong.
I thought the 10 gauge operated at higher pressures with more velocity than the 12? 10's used to be for hunting geese flying overhead at really ridiculous ranges.
It seems to me that a "super mag 12" just aint the same thing. Add more shot gets more lead out there but at lower velocities and less range? With all the advancements in recoil reduction and powders I think an advanced 10 would be an amazing piece in today's "modern" world.
Does anyone make a new production 10 gauge?
