Mortimore & Son 10 Bore

[J.B. Books]

Yesterday was my first chance to try the Mortimer magnum 10 on game. It was rather slow day and I only had a few chances to fire it. I used a handload of 1 1/2 ounce of bismuth 2 pushed by 32 gr of Longshot. The goose was a tall shot and while dressing it I found the pellets had fully penetrated the breasts. As some of you know perceived recoil is different when game is in the sights instead of patterning paper. I am upping my loads for the next hunt to 1 5/8 pushed along by 34 gr of Longshot because recoil when firing at geese yesterday was not bad at all.
