Hello all, interesting thread.
I was pointed in your direction from a UK site after I started asking around for some data to reload some shells for my 10 bore hammer gun, its a Thomas Bland, 2 5/8" chambers, damascus barrels but nitro proofed.
When I got the gun, I was also given some old Eley paper cased loads, both 2 5/8" and 2 7/8" which to be honest, shot the same with no discernible increase in recoil.
I have never shot anything else through it and now with the lead shot ban have been trying unsuccessfully to get some reloading data so I can try to put some ITX shot through it.
I have noted the comments about a small step in the chambers but have not really noticed that so will be having a closer inspection later.
Have any of you home loaders used Bismuth or Tungsten Matrix through your older guns and if so, do they measure up to lead.
