As # 10 wire has been ran, this indicates that a 20 to 30 amp breaker is

Number 12 and most likely # 14 wire would be used in his shed.



I wanted to minimize voltage drop so I used #10 to wire my garage

Same here! When I use #10 for branch circuits I use back wire
receptacles and larger j-boxes.
