1900 16 VH & Doves today
 

Choked r/.010 & l/.028, number 1 frame and 28" barrels at 6 lbs. 13 ounces it will handle every situation. Was shooting 2.5 inch Cheddite handloads with 1 ounce 8.5s in the right barrel and 1 ounce 8s in the left and Longshot powder, low pressure. Took about an hour between thunderstorms. Less than a box and a half for fifteen bird limit and two lost ones. A beautiful September day. Rather shoot these little targets than anything on earth.

One has to wonder how many other people enjoyed the same pleasure with it in its 111 years.

Merry Christmas J.A.,

That's what the first of September is to me. I shot the 20 gauge Trojan my father found under the Christmas Tree so many years. The little gun made it's 63rd consecutive appearance at a shoot Thursday. It is a wonder gun that never fails to kill dove. Saturday I never took it out of it's slip. I sat with my 10 year old grandson giving encouragement as he shot. This morning I shot in the rain with a 16 gauge PH and was one of the first out of the field by 8 AM. The PH was cobbled together with Damascus barrels that remained from my horrid attorney friends grandfathers estate. He was with me when I fired the first shot at game in many many years and saw the dove fold. He was as happy as I was.

"horrid attorney" - Isn't that tautological?
