Were they factory shells or reloads in the Lefever G?
Thanks

They are reloads, a Sherman Bell recipe in a Federal hull, 32 grains of SR7625 and 1 1/4 ounce of bismuth.

My Lefever G 10ga has the thickest barrels walls from breech to muzzle of my short tens. They are extremely stout. I have no fear when shooting any nitro load I put through it.

Well the NH Adopted Boy did shoot a banded bird out from under us so we may put him in a brief time out for that one.

I have a heavy Damascus Lefever G built in 1891 or '92. I'd like to use it pass shooting geese here in Indiana. I'll have to locate some bulk Bismuth.
