That is one beautiful gun you have Jay in my favorite gauge. I'm curious to see how this patterns for you. I have had good luck pheasant hunting with a 15 gauge cylinder bore percussion double using the so called "skychief load". For those unfamiliar with this load, you load a oil soaked cushion wad on top of the shot instead of under the shot which helps tighten up the pattern in a cylinder bore and helps make it more practical out to 35-40 yards.
