What is the bore diameter of a 10-gauge shotgun?

That's a great breakdown of the 10-gauge specs! I've always been intrigued by its power, especially for those heavy waterfowl loads. Has anyone here had much experience with different chokes for a 10-gauge? Curious to hear what setups people are running for long-range shots.

That's a fantastic question about chokes for the 10-gauge! It's definitely a beast for those heavy waterfowl loads, and getting the right choke can make a huge difference for long-range performance. From what I've seen and heard, many folks lean towards tighter chokes like Full or even Extra Full when they're really trying to stretch the range with their 10-gauge, especially for big ducks or geese. The idea is to keep that pattern as dense as possible at longer distances. However, it also depends a lot on the specific ammunition you're using. Some of those modern heavy-payload shells perform really well with slightly more open chokes like Improved Modified, as they can sometimes pattern too tightly with a Full choke, leading to blown patterns. It's always a good idea to pattern your gun with various choke/load combinations to see what works best. Has anyone experimented with specific brands of chokes that they've found particularly effective for long-range 10-gauge shooting? I'm curious to hear about real-world results!
