I have a 10 ga. Ithaca NID 3 1/2" but I can't shoot it laying in a rice field. It will kill Sand Hills WAY out there but is cumbersome. My answer to that was to get a Money Maker Guncraft Big Bore (10 ga. bore with 12 ga. chamber using Briley 10 ga. choke tubes) barrel for my Rem. 870 3" Wingmaster pawnshop gun. I load 1 3/8 oz. Nice Shot and Bismuth #2's for it and get great patterns.

An HE would be great but I just won't haul one of them into the rice mud / salt marsh world.
