I am surprised nobody has mentioned the importance of making sure the stock is tight to the receiver. They can come loose from use and from wood shrinking with age. If the stock is not tight to the receiver the receiver jackhammers the stock with each shot regardless of the load used.

Everything is still nice and tight on this gun... I think I am ok there.

I honestly doubt there are any issues with it, but will check on as much as I can. I have already shot some low recoil herters out of it on clays. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear the gun was a lot newer than 1926 DOM.

Joe I like to play around on the skeet field and the wobble trap with those Herters you mentioned. They will break targets off the wobble trap at quite the distance and out of my 34" guns they sound more like a 410.

No doubt, I barely feel them out of this trojan.... Weighing in at 7lb 10 oz it's like shooting a 22 rimfire.
