Chamber reducers are the salvation of ten gauge owners. Little Skeeters are about the only ones still available, but I ordered a set of 10-12 last week and have them in hand now. I was just testing the water to see if they were actually still in business. I have some "in stock" but ordered more. I use reducers in all my eights and tens as well as loading real 8 and 10 gauge shells. I grind an area of the rim away on the reducer so I can remove the 12 gauge shell with my fingernail without ejecting the entire reducer.

Not a CE but I do have a 10ga BE with 32" C grade Damascus (Etoile 3BP, IIRC) barrels.

My limited experience has been that 10 gauge English guns are less expensive than similar quality 12 gauge guns. I collect more than I shoot, so I'm less impacted by higher ammunition costs for the larger bore. These comments are based on purchasing a William Ford, a WW Greener G-grade and an older Westley Richads.

Good luck finding an Ithaca NID in 10 gauge either a super or a magnum 10 for anything close to 12 gauge prices

On the topic of chamber reducers, wouldn't a waterfowl-type 10ga with reducers installed easily digest regular, modern 2.75" 12ga shells? In which case, a 10ga version of said Lefever F grade would represent a good value over a 12ga F grade because one could buy it for less and shoot it for less?
