Well, the selfsame VH 16 that I purchased specifically for a northwoods grouse hunt developed a crack after 150 rounds of RST Ultra Lite cartridges (three-quarter ounce at 1100 ft./s.) I am very happy that it happened now, rather than in the grouse woods.
As long as it is in the shop, it will get a fresh rust bluing of the barrels and trigger guard.
Perfect example of why “one is none.”
