Thanks buddy ,just got out and i'm cooking the birds and enjoying a cold beer...the gun is the lightweight 10 I mentioned a while back,handloads were 1 3/8 # 4 bismuth ,overkill i know but given the snipe we encounter ( migratory classed) and due to our laws requiring all or no non toxic on your person when hunting the barrens ,it was all I had ...and after a couple years restoration I just couldn't wait to use it ,shes a killer - three shots and two birds ...I have to admit I did have to let them get out there before I pulled the trigger ,must be the first birds this gun has taken in a lifetime ,many thanks to Jim D for putting me onto this old gun .
