For smokeless loads in composite barrels 1160fps is what I use, very mild and to be honest they seem almost too mild. Not complaining, just an observation.
The 1-1/2Fg & 2Fg black powder loads have delivered similar results as the smokeless.
Someone has the ability to correct this barrel. I’m hoping to not disturb the barrel surface to the point of requiring a refinish. I can rent the Hosford dent removal tool. I don’t care to learn on the job with a shotgun that deserves experienced hands.
I posted the query with an open mind and everyone’s thoughts are appreciated. Thank you!
