Anyone know of a current supplier of reloadable brass 10 ga. hulls(?)or have some they would be willing to part with? thanks for any help forthcoming. Looking for a small quantity, perhaps ten, any length from 2&7/8" to ?
They would go to a friend who would like to use them in a Parker ten that he has. Thanks for any assistance forthcoming. He has been trying to find some & having zero luck.

The RMC hulls are lathe turned and the walls are thick enough to allow the use of 12 gauge wads. The Track hulls (which I use) are drawn and require 9 gauge wads. The Track hulls are pretty neat since they are very similar to the original Parker hulls and have "Parker" on the base of the hull. I believe the RMC hulls use a 209 primer and the Track hulls a large pistol primer.

Note that TW (I assume this is tracy) asked about brass hulls for the 10ga, not 12. 12ga brass hulls are relatively easy to come by. Personally I prefer the drawn hulls even though they do require the 11 ga wads.If you can find any 10 ga drawn brass hulls they would use 9 ga wads.

Why the brass hulls ?
Your friend does know that in a SxS there's the possibility of a the load shifting in an un-crimped hull from the recoil of the other barrel.
It's really easy and simple to load 10 ga. plastic hulls with a roll crimper and a short piece of 5/8" dowel rod or just get some gauge mates and shoot low pressure 12 ga. ammo out of it.

To make a correction. The Track hulls are lathe turned as well, and are thin walled to take the correct 9 gauge wads for antique Parker 10 gauge guns. If the Parker was made before approximately 1885, it's bore size will be larger than the modern 10 gauge standard of .775. They generally run somewhere around .790+, and will perform better with the larger 9 gauge wads if you are using black powder and card wads.
Obviously with brass hulls you must take proper care of them, such as washing and cleaning after use (a case tumbler is a big help). If you do that, they will last forever or a very long time, whichever comes first.

Flintfan is correct, early ten gauge Parker bores tend to be overbored. I own a very early ten hammerless (December,1888) and its original, untouched bore measures .801.
