Howdy,
Now to the thing that spurred me to join this forum. I just acquired this beast of a 6-Bore Dangerous game gun. I am looking to shoot it (at least once or twice) and I am looking for some recommendations on ball size and source for such a beast. I will keep people informed as I learn more about the history of the gun in the antique section of this forum.
Note: I never know how much to push on the dial when measuring, so I took 3 measurements and posted them all here for review. Any help would be appreciated.
