Just posted today on an other forum.
"I have a trio of old W.C.Scott hammerless damascus shotguns and ALL are capable of handling moderately loaded smokeless loads as well as a nice old Parker 16 gauge hammerless .
Incidently just about 10 days ago I flattened a less then bright Virginia Whitetail at 26 yards with the old W.C Scott 10 gauge that belonged to my maternal grandfather for over 50 years !
I used a load Ross Seyfried used in a gun exactly like mine for 1 1/4 ounces of shot . But instead of using the shot I put twelve 00 Buck pellets in !
Shooting this load offhand at 25 yards on a pattern board one shot from each barrel gave me a 15" pattern with ALL 24 pellets accounted for inside the circle !
That deer also happened to be the first deer I have EVER killed with buckshot . Kinda cool it was with my grandfathers old 10 gauge and a load I assembled myself."
