Joe, I hear you! Got the itch real bad.
A couple of weeks ago I unloaded my smoothbore into a stump at the last day of deer season. Since then ... nothing... the work interferes with the range time...
Itclark,
I do have a German reloading book with some recommended loads.

Alan, Joe,
Thanks for the encouragement!

I am just back from the proof house!
For those who have seen the thread about bringing my Smoothbore home from the U.S. The name DIRT_Farmer used to describe is a good one so she is going to be...

As you know I am still learning - but that is a very good advice.
Once you start to thinking about whether the next shot will fire or not the shot is blown anyway. So that I try to stick to that...

Jeff,
his wife passed away a couple of years ago - he told me that the building keeps him going. He's building every single day or going to the meetings.

A very nice Smoothbore you got there! Congratulations.
Isn't it nice to play with those toys?
