If you need a roll crimper that uses a drill this company makes excellent roll crimper's for most gauges https://www.thereloadersnetwork.com/product/roll-crimper-quad-pin-10-gauge/ I have used their roll crimpers On this side of the pond a Mec 600Jr in 10b is an good choice but a better choice would be a Ponsness Warren 375 which easily resizes the fired 10 bore cases Good Luck!

derbyduck Thanks for the information but those will probably be out of my price range Jim

London reproof LP 90

Dave at kelton In 2008 I purchased a cased Charles Lancaster 8 b SXS with hammers and under lever with 36 inch damascus barrels 3.25 " chambers with full and full chokes. It weighted a light 13.5 lbs. A friend who really enjoys his 8 b shotgun(s) sent me a dozen reloads (Winchester cases with 1.75 oz of # 6 shot with Universal Clays). Patterns at 40 yds right barrel = 93 % ;left barrel = 88 % Patterns at 60 yds right barrel =33 %; left barrel = 29% Possibly heavier shot might have improved the patterns beyond 40 yds. It was fantastic to shoot, minimal recoil. In Ohio any shogun larger than 10b is illegal for any game including waterfowl. Before I sold it, I located a full box of Eley 8 b 3.25 inch cartridges with # 4 shot at a gun show but did not test it I donated the full box to the friend who gave me the 8 b cartridges to test .

Shakin is that 3 inch chamberless still for sale? Thanks! Jim Better photo showing different proofs

Is this accurate? Shot size comparison chart, UK/USA/Europe

In the 1980s I began a subscription to the Shooting Times and Country Magazine which I greatly enjoyed although mail did not always arrive as expected. In the For Sale Ads I located a William Ford 10 b SXS with 33” barrels weighing just less than 9.5 lbs After some correspondence by letter in those days and I believe one phone call, I purchased it and had it "imported". It apparently began life as a 12 b with 3 inch chambers then someone had it "re-bored to 10b". According to serial number it was made in the 1920s. It was my go to water-fowling shotgun during the end of lead shot into the shooting rust era at moving objects. During the lead era it did a very nice job of harvesting ducks and the occasional goose. Before moving to the use of steel shot I sent the shotgun to Stan Baker to have him evaluate what needed to be done for the move to steel shot. He informed me that the chamber of one barrel was off center and recommended opening the chokes for steel shot- I had him fix both issues. Within several years of using steel shot I discovered the action became loose "off face?" and had it repaired. I then sent it to Briley to have mobile shot gun chokes made for it. Now it only uses bismuth for water fowling or lead for other game. Hind sight- it became apparent it was not made for the higher pressure loads (lead or steel in 3.5 inch loads). The choice of lower pressure steel loads was not a option here in the 1990s. I really enjoy the British SXS shotguns To use an 8 bore on waterfowl must be fantastic. Jim

Would really like to hunt over here with a big 8b but not allowed in my state for any game I envy those across the pond who can use it for water fowling. Jim

Very nice photo with a nice bag, gun and fine friend! Jim

Trigger plate issue repaired Ready for use Thanks! Jim

I have acquired a very nice waterfowling shotgun proofed for 1 & 3/4 oz loads. I have not been able to determine when it was made. Lincoln Jeffreis, JNR., 120 Steel House Lane. Birmingham Jeffrie’s Long Range High Velocity for 3 “Brass case 12 bore 3 inch # 3770 When was it made? Thanks! Jim
