Title: Do they make 10 gauge number 6 Factory loads Anymore?
Post by: Tom007 on March 13, 2024, 11:18:49 AM
As the title says, does anyone see factory number 6 in 10 gauge? It seems to have disappeared? Thoughts welcome....

Tom, to my knowledge no major ammo company loads 10 ga. shotshells in #6 shot.  All have been discontinued to include Federal and Winchester.  Darn shame IMO.  I really like the old Federal "Premium" 2 1/4 oz. and Winchester "Supreme" HV 2 oz. loads.

Yes sir. Those Federals in the white/gold box (and yes the box was 25) were great shells. I wish there was a site that sold this older ammo, it was great. Seems like eventually, 10 gauges may have to load their own....

I have a full box of Federal Premium Grand Slam in 6 shot. It is a blue/gold colored box. Price sticker on box is $14.99 if I recall correctly, so they must be fairly old. Came with an SP10 I bought.

I would keep checking gunbroker, I've scored all kinds of literal gold there over the years  ..the only problem with GB is that so much 12 ga ammo is mixed up into it ,it takes forever to sift through it

There is always #4 and sometimes #5

Nitro will load any size shot you want in just a regular copper plated lead load
