I use 2 1/4 ozs ITM and 4 1/2 drams of black I am afraid I cheat. I use nitro. Blue dot 55 guns, giulandi base wad, card cup and 2 oz ITM in 1 or bb. 5 hours ago, Old farrier said: Well done 😊 you can shoot a goose with anything but to slay a goose you need a 8 bore 😊👍 nice looking gun could you tell us about it please merry Christmas all the best of It’s a Tolley proofed to 1200 bars standard 3.25” chambers 34” barrels and about 14lb. The original load is stamped on the underside of the stock and will have to look it out. There is no brown left on the barrels but it is a working gun and the salt would just ruin it again so I haven’t bothered redoing it. I bought it when they were a sensible price but it doesn’t come out quite as often due to the cost of shot. Day to day I use steel in the ten or twelve buts its still nice to take out and use as it was originally intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
