I wouldn't be surprised if the chambers in this gun aren't 2 9/16" but I've been shooting 2 3/4" in it with no ill effects . I have two other hammer drillings that are 16 gauge but I'm a bit apprehensive to shoot these factory loads in them so I just reload #1 Buck for them . Incidently I ordered some more of these Brenneke slugs from Jerry's last week and happened to notice they have a goodly supply of the 2 1/2" slugs as well for a few more cents a box . |

I think if I get motivated to go to the range next week I'll take some factory loaded buckshot for this drilling and see how it does at 25 yards again . I know I have Federal and Winchester on the shelf downstairs but I may have some Remington as well . If I'm not mistaken when I tried the chokes a year or two ago with the flat gauge both barrels were tight and tighter .

Got to the range a little early to try some buckshot in the drilling at 25 yards !
Winchester factory #1 Buck , Federal factory #1 Buck , And handloaded #1 Buck pushed with Unique . Shot the Brenneke slugs at 50 yards . The right barrel hits a little high at 50 yards like maybe 3 inches but it's plenty good enough . The left barrel however hit way low , I think I wanna try this again next week . |

If I think about it Saturday or Sunday I'll try and put together a few of the 7x57R loads with the Hornady 154 SP bullet . I have a few loaded but I wanna get some fresh ones loaded as well . And if that happens I may as well try those at 50 and 100 yards with the crude sights .
Also wanna load maybe 6-10 of the #1 Buck but this time add some buffer to see what happens . And of course bring a couple pair of the Brenneke slugs for another go or two at 50 yards . I can't help but think I mighta moved the gun for the left barrel shot at 50 yards . |

With double rifles and drillings: If the shots cross the bullets are to light or to fast. If the bullets shoot apart they are to heavy or to slow. Your drilling is crossing. Try a heavier bullet and or a slower bullet. With shotgun velocities, an inch or two spread at 25 yards (left on the left and right on the right) you should have a close group at 100 yards. I am envious. Always wanted a drilling and 7x57 is an all around great cartridge. You might go with a standard 175 grain load at modest velocities.

I have two drillings and one combo gun that the rifles are chambered for 7x57R . Nice enough cartridge but I kinda want one on 6.5x57R . |

I still wanna get a set of rings from NECG as I'd like to actually see how well I can get the rifle barrel shooting at 100 yards . As to the slugs and buckshot in this thing I seriousely doubt if I would ever try over 30 yards with either . 90% of the time I'll be perched in a tree and have a bolt or lever gun along as well . |
