It sounds like a cool little gun, Charlie. What is the barrel marked, in regards to caliber? The 'Game Getter' shot cartridge used the 44 WCF case with a flush seated topwad. The 44 XL used the same case with a long shot container. The Game Getter also used the 44 WCF case with a round ball. The Game Getter cartridges were headstamped '44 G.G.' Try to find the Ideal loading tool, specifically for the 44 XL! Someone here has an original Game Getter and probably has more info on ammunition. Post a photo of your new shotgun, I am curious to see it!
