Years ago, I used a forcing cone lengthing reamer to lengthen foring cones. Did it myself was easy to do. That would take care of your concerns. I personally shoot lite reloads out of a sterlingworth 12 all the time. Gun is light weight so I expect recoil. Dave

Just a few minutes ago a flat of Polywad 2.5 inchers arrived at my doorstep and I'm going to run them through my Sterlingworth, Lefever and GH.

My Sterlingworth is light and it is a wonderful old double to shoot. I've been shooting it at clays....so I really don't know how well it hits, if you get my drift.

I have no fear shooting standard 1 oz loads in my Sterlingworth since it locks up so well and has thick walls. It looks and feels like a very strong gun to me.

I like shooting RST 2.5 inchers. Quaint, I guess and they seem to shoot as hard as anything....it's the cost however. So, far I have only been shooting them in my GH and I've been shooting 2 3/4 1 oz loads in my Sterlingworth. No problem, but she just kicks more than I'm used to. Same shells in my Miroku O/U don't seem to kick at all.
