He also recommend experimenting with different charges, patterning as you go.

I have the 1949 addition and have read that piece. It seems he was directing his attention to loading for large frame revolvers that had been fitted with smoothbore barrels.
The early, model 1908, Game Getter is not a very strong action and so far all the loading information I've located seems to be for stronger revolvers and rifles. While the information on the loads may be safe for the Game Getter I looked for years for a transferable one and would hate to damage it by loading incorrect ammunition for it.
With all the experience and expertise here I'm hoping that someone has some direct experience in loading this type of ammunition.
Many thanks to all.
