I "proofed" some of Morris Baker's new RST 3 1/2 dram 1 1/4oz. "Super Velocity Competition" pigeon loads yesterday and I can tell you they are indeed "stout"! With about as much recoil out of my heaviest guns (BHE #2 frame & Pointer Grade Superposed; both over 8lbs.) as I care to handle! I'm scared to grade up to his 3 3/4 dram loads; I can't imagine they're necessary after I saw what the 3 1/2s did to the flyers yesterday.
Also "proofed" my recently acquired 1929 Browning A-5 with a couple of magazinefulls of 3 1/4 dram 1-oz. Winchester "promotional" loads (you know, the ones with the tinfoil heads). After I slicked up the magazine tube with a little lube, she ran on like a Thompson. Gotta love 'em!
