If you want loading info I have a few loads.
I shot doves in west Kansas with my DH 14 over the weekend. I used turned down Greener Police brass with 209 primers, 1 1/8 copper 7.5 in a Remington wad. I used 1 1/8 powder dipper with trail boss powder which filled the brass shell nicely. The top wad was held in place with a slight press from the crimp starter on a MEC reloader. This was deadly on doves and came from Tom Armbrust. I have used this gun as well as my PH 14 for bobwhites, roosters and lesser prairie chicken near home. I only use black powder in my top lever twist hammer 14. It was quite a bit of work on the lathe but after you have the brass turned and set they will reload easily. For drilling the primers use 15/64 bit followed by 5/16ths to set the lip for the 209 primers. I use skull and crossbones fingernail decals to make the topwad look deadly. You can get all necessary wads from Circle Fly Wads. Its been awhile since seeing you at Trinidad, I hope you are well Mark.
