Unfortunately, at that point the extractors failed and I had to bring it to a gunsmith for a minor repair. When I got it back, I took it to a nearby pheasant farm loaded with RST 1 1/4 oz loads. I'm very happy to say that I killed 3 out of 6 my first time out with that gun. I'm not accustomed to hunting with such heavy barrels, so I was probably a little slow on the "swing" a few times, but when you hit them with a 10 ga., they go down.
I especially like shooting the old 10 doubles that are choked tight at trap doubles from perhaps the 22 yard line , skeet doubles from behind stations 3 , 4 and 5 , and last but not least Jap Trap . The really tight guns can be a hinderance at Jap Trap on stations 1 and 7 sometimes but one learns to compensate .
