Are you going to be using RMCs 4" 8 ga cases ?
I wouldnt mind finding one of those Davenports this winter but they dont show up often . They have a pretty thick barrel ive seen the walls measure .120 at their minimum . I just got permission to hunt yotes on some land my dads best friend owns . So I hope to get to use the 8 gauge and perhaps a 10 gauge for that .

a 3 3/4 inch hull is the longest hull case i have it loads and fires fine...will have to look in on the rmc brass hull....these davenports do have very thick barrels maybe you can find you a davenport...charlie

I know some 8 ga shooters would buy the brass RMC hulls and have them headstamped 10 ga so they could take them waterfowling

RMC is planning on ceasing operations though because their machinist is becoming a police officer but last I looked they were still taking orders .
Well if I cant find one there are plenty of fine old 10 gauges that need a home .

Charlie I seen a thread on another site where a fellow was shooting industrial slugs out of his davenport sounds pretty dangerous but Ive found out myself its hard to inform people the kind of care and diligence needed when shooting and taking care of old guns like these .
