Got the forend back today !

My friend that does stockwork did an excellent job to my eye !

I though the new firing pin had been heat treated but that'll get done tommorrow . My gunsmith buddy said he'll do the firing pin while he's blueing tommorrow !

Perhaps I can get out early thursday morning and try the buckshot loads . Might load some 000 wednesday just in case !

Loaded some 000 today .

Using my same old load of SR7625 with the SP-10 wad I'm able to put two 000 per layer and get 4 layers nested .

Hopefully this will look good at 25 yards . To be honest I don't think I've ever fired 000 Buck in anything before !

Just got back from the range !

Tried a 000 and #4 Buck at 25 yards !









Well as it looks #4 , #3 , #1 , 00 and 000 Buck all shoot well enough in this gun for what I'll do with it on deer !

Now all I need is to draw an area for Chincoteague NWR !
