Ever wonder just how many different ways you can load and shoot a smoothbore...??
Answer below:
Don't kick much at all.I read in 3 places..
90grns... 2oz.. as the most I've seen for dp10ga and that it kicks a little
One person once told me to much powder and it burns what it can the rest blows out a waist... I don't know, I wouldn't try.
Like the snow test... keep pouring a higher charge.. until you see it on the snow... to see how much your barrel can burn.. read that 20 years ago so it might Be fuzzy... I'd say a chronograph these days.

I've never been to the Shot Show ( Would LOVE to go someday )Awesome video Maniac meet you at shot you did for Abe store in Pennsylvania
It is not that they were cheap back then. Out on the frontier supplies were hard to come by. They experimented and came up with the smallest caliber that would do the job (to save lead) and the smallest powder charge (to save powder) that would do the job. This enabled them to keep shooting in defense or food gathering.I have trouble thinking less..
Less shot...
Less powder..
I know they had there guns dialed in back then.. and they were cheap.
One shot one kill..
a friends dad told us about shooting "chippies" [ sparrows] with slingshots off the wires along the train tracks to make stew during the depressionNot sure "they are all birds." Never heard that before, but likely did happen to ward off starving to death.
This here blah blah " less powder , more shot" thing.....
If you put 2oz on top of 80-90 gns of powder that IS less powder, more shot.
