Staple time

This is why I recommend light loads for most older guns- Even if the barrels can take it, you need to think about 100 plus year old wood

I do fire the lighter Kent matrix in my 3 frame 12 VH. It had a small split started in the head. I have de oiled and reinforced it and am not worried. But I will still avoid the stiffer loads
