    Double dose.

    Allways use 4f (Blacksilver 1 or Swiss 1 in my Flint game guns.) Never have any problems Just drop 1/4 dram of the stndard charge. Works fine on Game or Clays. Even use it in my 26" barreled 16b Double Cap gun.. O.D.

    Questions about the fly (in a lock, not your pants)

    Learned to my cost about light triggers and Half cocks.. I detented anything that was intended for competision those days. Also cut a second half **** on a light rifle I built for the hill years ago. The front 1/2 **** allows the gun to be carried ready capped for a quick shot. The hammer on...

    Manipulating choke performance

    Tread VERY VERY Carefully before you touch the barrels or any of that.. They are more than likely just bored Very Tight. Check the proof stamp under the barrels .It will tell you the bore..
