I just won a bid on an old 16ga double barrel shotgun. It’s going to be more or less, a wall hanger, but I would like to shoot it if I’m in the mood. I’m sure it predates smokeless, that’s not a problem for me.
I have two questions, however, I’ve heard talk that BP can melt some modern plastic shells. Is there any truth to that? If so do I need to find paper shells or even brass?
Second, where can I find info on loads for it? Both powder and shot? Since shotguns usually use fast powder, would FFF be better than FF?
Thanks
