Mike, pardon me for being stupid, but what is a maximum average? I wonder if I fell asleep in college math classes.
Bill, I'm surprised you are here to tell the tale. No unraveling of the damascus barrel, no shrapnel, all fingers still? I suspect that a 1 1/8oz 2 3/4 dre load with larger shot could actually kill a pheasant. I know, all the Golden Pheasant and Black Swarm and $15 a box manufacturers don't think so, but maybe I'll try it again this season.
Did I mention the Benelli auto that blew the barrel midsection? Yep, a buddy sent me the photo. His brother slipped a 20ga shell into a 12ga barrel by accident. Proof positive that Benelli barrels should not be shot.
