The Best Smooth Bore

[Mike Brooks]

I have been looking at Smooth Bores. I think I have
decided on either a Fusil De chase or the Southern
Hunting Gun{Poor Boy} in .62 Cal.
My question is what do you think is the best Smooth
Bore of all types Muskets, Fusils, Etc. Don't worry
about period Thingys. Just intersted in shooting.
What Cals, Makers, Types, Loads.?

Depends on what you want to do. If you're mainly shooting round ball you can't beat a 28 ga. If you want to shoot mostly shot I'd go with a 10 bore. A 20 ga does neither well. There's always a compromise somewhere with a "dual purpose" gun.

Lets not perpetuate this old wives tale:

Don't forget the old adage " Beware the man that only has one gun, he most likely knows how to use it"

I bet it was started by a woman looong time ago, "What? You already have two perfectly good clubs in the back of the cave!"
(If my wife is reading this, I'm just kidding dear.)
