The fact that some of them work well without removing them from the chamber DOES make using them less tiresome, I would think. But, I still can't get my head around the desire to use a sub-gauge shell in a sound gun, excepting sub-gauge competition.
I built every piece of reloading equipment I needed to load short tens except that I splurged for a MEC super-sizer in 10 gauge to resize the brass, and do double duty as a case holder on the table of my drill press while roll crimping. Oh yeah, I did buy the roll crimper for the drill press. However, there are many, many loaded without a super-sizer or a drill press, using a simple old hand roll crimper. The deprimer, priming block, measures, etc. can all be homemade at almost no cost. I've never seriously considered setting up a press to load the few short 10's I shoot each year at ducks and turkeys.
It's just so easy to do I can't imagine not using the proper shells for the gun. But then, I'm told regularly by the lovely Mrs. Jean how close-minded I am. Maybe there's something to it?
All my best, Stan
