Have a good many times and my stage times show it. None of mine are cut down.  So big and heavy. I don't even try to shuck.

Oh yeah.

Couple Lustrum ago, I searched hi and lo for a good Hammer Double in 10Ga.  All I could find at the time were Damascus guns of dubious lineage  and at best so/so quality.   Then I found out how much it was going to cost to feed the thing.  I did find a Box Lock that weighed a TON.   Cut it back to 20 inch barrels and it still weighed a TON.  Sole'd it on right quick.

This is the companion picture. Night shoots are fun!

My Pard did also; a modern made hammered double barrel 10g made by Bernadelli!

1889 Remington 10ga hammer SxS for me!

 

I pull it out when I want to really make some smoke and noise!  The barrels were damaged at 23”, so it’s now got 22” barrels and it still weighs half a ton.  The breech looks like a two hole artillery piece and there’s no bluing left on it!!

 

I shot the entire Ohio State match with it a few years ago. On two separate stages, I missed all four targets with the shot, but the concussion knoced them over.  I have witnesses to prove it!  (Insert demonic laughter here) 

 

 

 

YOU SHOULD’A SEEN WHAT IT DID TO THOSE DAMNED CHICKENS AT COMIN’ATCHA’!!!

I have a London made I. Hollis & Sons hammered 10 gauge that I've shot at a SASS match on rare occasions.  As Warden mentioned above, it adds a LOT of time to your score.

 

I generally shoot a modern Spanish hammerless 10 gauge loaded heavy (1.5 ozs of shot & 120 grains of 1F or 2F) at annual matches.

My only 10 gauge is a New Baker hammered SxS w/30" bbls.
(I'd need to go to the gym for a month or so to be able to shoot it in a match!) 

 

This 12 ga. 1889 Gr2 Remington works just fine for Trap & Clays, though! 

(also 30" barrels)

Same model SxS I learnt to shoot critters with in my teen years (loaned to me by a friend's Pa...kept it in my locker at school)

They’re built like an anvil, ain’t they??

My single shot 8 gauge next to 12 gauge SKB.

Looks like what used to be called a punt gun - in many cases a commercial game getter.
