Hello guys and a gals
My friend has a H&A 12 Gauge falling block which appears to be 1898 or earlier manufacture. It's a 11XX serial number and was marked with the earlier company name prior to the name (I believe H&A Manufacturing Co instead of Firearms Co) change in 1899
I was wondering if a safe smokeless load could be developed for this?
The gun is in good condition and it solid.
I guess the question is more of, can a safe smokeless load be developed for a BP shotgun action at all? I know in metallic it is done all the time but I wasn't sure with shotshell.
I would like to bring this little guy out for pheasant if possible.
Thank you all!
