Don't fool yourselves about shooting heavy loads in vintage doubles. I have had three guns develop cracked wrists shooting moderate (1 ounce Factory) loads. One a 1923 vintage L C Smith Featherweight and two Fox Sterlingworths, a 1922 vintage and a 1935 vintage. Now I load all of my own ammo for my double guns maintain recoil energy at or less than 20 foot pounds for low volume shooting hunting loads and 16 foot pounds of force for high volume clay target shooting.
