Great 8 gauge gun!
 
Luck: where opportunity meets preparedness.

Fantastic buy!

The DH is going to the shoot at Prospect Hall Saturday . I’ll shoot it at the first peg then leave it in John’s car and shoot something else the rest of the way around .

I hadn’t planned on going to Hausemann’s in June , but that is looking as if it will change . So if that’s the case I’m up for shooting 8’s there again .

Just fired this DH six times a pair of .785” punkin balls from the right barrel that stayed relatively close to each other but not POA . A pair of .795” punkin balls from the left barrel that didn’t stay close to each other or POA . And finally a load of 000000 buck ten pellets from the right then again from the left also at thirty yards and yes they looked fine for deer decimation . From the right barrel 10 of 10 were on the paper and to point of aim . The left barrel put 9 of 10 on the paper but were slightly high left and I assume the tenth pellet sailed over my box .

Well, that deer would still be dead with any of those unless one went off the chart

Brian is sending me a new spring for the forend . If I can get it in quick enough this one might take a trip in the woods . Saturday I plan on shooting the DH at the first peg and I’ll put a piece of electrical tape over it to keep it from coming down .

I ordered a new fourteen cavity gang mold from Marty’s Molds in I believe MN that’s just a hair smaller at .410” but oughtta be a darn sight faster than using the two Tanner single cavity .415” molds . https://www.ebay.com/itm/224706502219

Hmmmm that link says they’re out of stock right now . But the one I purchased is already in the mail and projected to be here in the next two days .

sounds like a good mold it should make things work faster let us know how it does.....charlie
