Looking for a 10g SxS with Specific Features, Does This Beast Exist?

[brybenn]

A little bit on the heavy side 10.5 unloaded.
No sling swivels so it's African carry trecking down the road. I had the chokes opened up. I am not really certain this was a good idea !?!?
But I kind of had it done upon gunsmiths advice.

Still lighter than my sxs 10ga extractor gun. It has heavy 32" barrels and dense wood. I to had it opened for steel shot. It works well even though the so called gunsmith did a horrible job

any info on 10 ga slug moulds? not looking to purchase immediately but would love to know whats out there. My google-fu makes it seem like a lot are discontinued

The one I was interested in was a 1080grn monster by NEI. The owner passed away though and the company is defunct. Accurate molds has some approaching 1000. I'm just trying to figure out a design that will stabilize without rifling.

Pretty much just leaves me with foster style slugs unless I can figure out a way to make my own Brenekke style. They will also cater to custom designs. No doubt it wouldn't be cheap but when you are slinging slugs that heavy nothing is.

Yeah I guess I forgot pretty much all the magnum tens were north of twelve pounds (sxs pump and semis)because of the recoil energy. Truth be told the absolute worst recoiling shotgun I tried three shots from was 12 gauge 3.5 inch Ultra Mag Mossberg pump gun. Crushing force out of that gun. Almost identical energy to magnum ten out of a single shot break action.

Uhm. In black powder ten gauge 2 7/8 inch Parker all brass hull I have limited success with improvised slug and 85 grains triple F.
It's quite steam punk but I crazy glued three 000 buck in triangle with fifty caliber round ball on top.
Ad hoc forming set up only, set up I used 28 gauge dummy shell sitting in brass ten gauge hull on top of shot card and surrounded by a tube of cardboard magazine subscription paper. This to keep everything centered. Didn't take very long to set up and I often had to cut the projectile off the shot card. Ugly as hell but it worked in BP.
At twenty yards shoots like a rifle out of full choke Parkhurst shotgun. Both barrels giving side by each grouping this distance.
I don't believe this would stay together in smokeless magnum ten gauge though.
Info.

Edit: I used that 28 gauge dummy shell inverted inside the ten gauge brass hull only to form this strange slug only. Because I could set the pellets inside there and the outer longer shell kept it all together. But there was still just.enuf room to see what u are doing. The loading process came afterwards of course.

My first 10 was a Stevens single that I cut down to 20". Even after filling the stock with shot my max was 5 rounds of 2 1/4oz shells. I'm not recoil shy but the 10 is capable of producing pretty brutal recoil in a light gun.

I guess I should add, it's gotta be safe for smokless 3.5" shells. For my intended purposes an antique would certainly go boom in the wrong way.

I have one for you if you are interested, has all the particulars you’re asking for... except it has a single trigger

Ive got a spanish 10ga sxs from the 50s. Extractors, 32'' pipes, case hardened, looks beautiful, weighs 12 pounds. Federal makes 750 grain slugs, they are pretty damn big, not sure what difference 1000 grain slugs would make on game....why the desire to load the 1000 grain slugs?? Ive never seen any other 10 gauge ammo other than 3.5" steel and slugs.
