Default 10 gauge shotgun question

I'm in doubt about the damage of shotgun in 10 gauge.
In the basic they do (B279) : Double Shotgun, 10G 1d+2 pi
In HT (HT105) the Winchester Model 1887 10G 2.875” does 2d-1 pi
and in the HT pulp gun vol.1 p.22 Winchester Model 1887, 10G 2.875” 1d+2 pi

OK ,which profil is good ? I think Pulp gun but I'm not sure ?
And another question how do calculte the slug damage?

Thank you in advance

It's possible that the latest published book has the best stats but it's also possible that there are unexplained factors at play. For example, I know why .38 S&W damage is 2d-1 in some entries and 2D-2 in others (a specific type of low velocity ammo becoming the UK military standard).

So am I sure that these descrepancies mean that one set is mistaken? Nope.

Slug damage is buckshot damage x 4. sometimes adjustd for the "dice and adds" rule i.e. 1D+1 buckshot from the 12 gauge turns into 4D+4 or just 5D. Either is correct.
