Who built 10 gauge shotguns?
Many companies built them in both black and smokeless powder variants. Remington, Ithaca, H&H, Greener, Wadsworth, etc..
What was the First year Ithaca field grade 16 gauge double barrel hammerless was made?
SN 1-2247 were made in 1885. Please note that date is from the era of BLACK POWDER. Modern smokeless powder shells should NOT be fired. Also 16 g shells were shorter than current 16 g shells. Please have your gun examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting ANYTHING in it.
How do you look up the energy your gun barrel will take?
A good start is looking at the markings on the barrel, which should indicate the gauge and length of shell. If it says 12 gauge, 2 3/4 inch, then stick with the factory loaded shells in that gauge and length. Your gun was designed and test fired around those shells. An exception to that rule would be a very old shotgun, made in 1900 or earlier. Those may have been intended for BLACK POWDER shells, and should not be fired with modern ammunition. If a gunsmith examines your gun, and finds it safe to shoot, then black powder shotshells are available by special order. If we did not answer your question, please repost, or contact me directly through my message board.
What type of ammunition does a double barreled 10 gauge shot gun fire?
10 gauge. Most likely black powder.
Can you put black powder in modern shells to shoot through old shotguns?
You can, but you should be careful about the chamber length. For example, the most common length for modern 12 gauge shells is 2 3/4", but older shotguns may only be chambered for 2 1/2" shells. So long as the chamber length is ok, it is certainly possible to load and shoot black powder with modern hulls. Appropriately sized plastic wads can also be used (I've used Winchester red AA wads with AA hulls, 80 grains of powder, 1 oz. of shot). You do tend to get some stringy plastic residue that has to be cleaned out of the bore. I've actually switched to using brass shotshells for black powder now.

Do 12 gauge shells work in 16 gauge?

Must you shoot black powder shells only in a Charles Daly 12 gauge shotgun with fine Damascus barrels?
Yes, definitely, always, without exception. Pyrodex or similar powders which equal the characteristics of black powder may be used. Significant danger to the shooter and the gun will result if smokeless powder is used. Note many folks who know that their Damascus barrels are sound shoot modern shells through their guns. I have shot thousands of Winchester AA Feathers through my Damascus Daly. These shells have lower pressure that many black powder rounds.With a gun this fine you should join the DoubleGun BBS a place where old guns are talked about every day and shot alot. Also check out the German Gun Collectors website. Never shoot every day wally world shells but modern low pressure shell can be found without much trouble.
What kind of shells can you shoot in a sam Holt damascus double barrel 20 gauge?
Most old Damascus barrels cannot hold the pressures of modern smokeless loads. I doubt that you will find any black powder loads for that type of barrel. Hang it on the wall and admire it.
What would the value be on a 1892 single barrel acme 16 gauge shot gun?
Around $25-$50. Likely origin is Belgium, STRONGLY advise that you do NOT attempt to fire it. That time frame covers guns made for black powder shells, not smokeless. The 16 gauge shell was shorter back then, and many of those guns used a Twist steel barrel.
What is the value of a Harrington and Richardson 12 gauge Topper M48 black powder numbers J31533?
