Black powder reloading
I sure am glad I posted the thread ( why do they call it a thread? ) requesting information on loading for bp shotshells. I have received some great information and I will be able to use most or all of it. I measured my bores tonight (on the shotgun) and Austin was right. My gun was made in 1882 and the bores measured rt .758 and lt .753 so it appears that I will be using brass shells to go with the 11 gauge wads. I am also going to use a teflon wrap around the shot as the barrels are a little rough. I have some ffg on the way so maybe I can give a progress report for anyone interested. I recognize some of the names and I am sure that I would recognize the faces as I have shot in the Challenge at the Southern for the last 3 years. Thanks guys, Jim Garrett
