I think you got a deal on your new 8 bore and I'm anxious to view your follow up reports. I have an Irish double shot snake from Dixie Gun Works that is adjustable to throw 1 1/4, 1 1/2, or 2 oz of shot. I have a shot card in the bottom of mine to throw 1 oz of shot on its lowest setting.
I have been looking at shot throwers on the possible shop that throw up to 2oz I believe it was .I am anxious as well to get it in hand and let the old gal breathe back to life . As someone once said these old guns just have a hunting spirit about them that you dont get with new made guns .

I was looking at the prelubed wads online .
