[M.T. Pockets]

I've got an Ithica Mag 10. My dad & I chipped in and bought it in 1977 when I was 12 years old. I've shot many geese with it but it is also the best crow gun I can think of. I had to lift weights for two years before I could handle it well.

Yes, I've had trouble too. I bought a reloader and had even more trouble. If the loads weren't heavy enough it wouldn't cycle, if they were too heavy the action would stay open. I also had a lot of trouble with the trigger mechanism.

I gave up on reloads entirely and found factory ammo that it likes. I have to keep mine clean, very clean or I have trouble.

I guess I don't know what to tell you, but I do know of others who have put thousands of rounds through theirs. Mine doesn't see much use anymore, but I'll never get rid of it.
