Restored a 1873 Charles Daly 10 gauge SxS hammer gun last year and loaded up 100 grains of FG and 1 5/8oz of nickle plated #6s. Cut down a hull to 2 7/8" and roll crimped it. It put 40 pellets on a turkey head target at 25 yards, 20 pellets at 40 yards, and 7 pellets at 50 yards. Took a double bearded gobbler with it on opening day at 25 yards. Knocked it flat! Bought my gun at a rummage sale back in the 90's for $45.
Very nice Scott! Love old guns as well and yes only God could make a day so beautiful! All glory to Him! From Sophia, N.C.
