yep i lean towards the doubles myself but still have a few brands every body ashamed to say they own in single barrels....roll up some of those 1 ounce loads in the ten ga. for shooting.. they will really surprize you what they will do....use to think i needed 1 1/2 ounc or more in every thing but ive been wrong...the lite loads have there place too... charlie

Yeah I have a couple LeFever's as well !
I assume thats what you were speaking of in a single barrel ?

Have several old single Iver Johnson's as well as a IJ 410 double .

My current short 10 load is a ounce and a quarter of shot . And in my two guns it's rather pleasent to say the least .

I have a 16 gauge Kettner with fluid steel barrels that are 30" F&F that I need to try on the trap field as well . Although this one has no pad and isn't heavy . But my friend has a killer 7/8 ounce load for the 16 that I'll try in the Kettner as well as my drillings soon I hope !

Now thats a thought !

If I'm able to make the late season trip to Arkansas this coming season I might just take a drilling for the piggies !

I happen to have a rather nice hammer drilling in 16x16x10.75-65R Collath !

The rest of the pics of the drilling !

Note the gun has a cheekpiece for a left handed shooter !

boy thats one fine lookin drilling...got more artwork than all my guns put together...ive always admired the work put into the drillings....there lite graceful heck there just about perfect in all ways....i took 4 deer this year with my drilling its a 16 x16 with7x57r rifle got eagle claw mounts and a scope its nice but really ruins the graceful lines in my eyes anyway...craig your gun is really nice take it pig hunting soon...slug in left barrel buckshot in the right and that big old rifle under neath for those big piggies..... charlie
