I should note that I shot a couple rounds of skeet with it last weekend. It shoots great, but the thumb push does take a bit of getting used to, while operating the safety. Lots of fun  |

| Nice Job Mark! Can you tell us what loads you will use in this gun. I know you mentioned some RST stuff, but you also mentioned loading some yourself. I just wondered what your reload recipes would be. Thanks. |

| I'm loading 1oz, 19g Longshot in a 2.5" cheddite hull, Z16, Win209. About 7k psi per the 16ga spreadsheet. This gun does have some pits in the bores, but it has very good minimum wall thickness, so I'm just taking it easy with it. Will make a great grouse/quail/released pheasant/skeet gun. |
