    New 10 gauge and some questions

    Congrats on your 'new-sed' Pedersoli 10 gauge SxS - sounds like you are in for some good shooting! .760 is actually between the Eleven (.751) and Ten guage bore sizes. I would stick with stacked thin card wads for now, because they are easier to coax into an under-size muzzle (probably still try...

    Shotgun Slugs in .69 Smoothbore, we have a winner :)

    There is reason for the persistence of slug loading, and I think you are on the right track here. I would invest money on new molds rather than buying 1F to experiment (unless you already have some on hand).

It was done by searing the small end of the hair against a hot iron, then clamping the modified hair between 2 small wood pieces and securing the assembly into...

    boring out zouave

    Personally, I want a minimum .045 inch of wall thickness for a rifled bore, just to be on the safe side. There are some folks that would accept wall thickness to finish out just over .040" per side (or greater than 1MM / each). I would most definitely have the barrel examined by a reputable...
