I bought the gun at a rummage sale back around the last 90’s for $45. It was rusted solid and missing a hammer. I cleaned it up and finally got hammers on it last year along with refinishing the wood and metal. My gold was always to make it a shooter and harvest a turkey with it. Megasupermagum help me with picking out a load for it. I used a 100 grains of Fg and 1 5/8 oz of BPI nickel plated #6 shot. It patterns great in the left barrel. Today was the first day of 2nd season turkey hunting so I got to give it a try. I dropped a dandy double bearded gobbler at 25 yards give or take. When the smoke cleared I had a dead bird! I didn’t weigh it but can tell you it’s one of the heaviest birds I’ve shot over the years. It had inch and a half Spurs. The beards were 10.5” and 7 1/4”. I had this guy in my trail camera so I knew he was aground. I have another that has way over a 12” beard that drags on the ground thst I am on the look out for as well. I know my load is not “cast” but had to share. I can’t wait for 4th season to do it all over again!
