Hi guys.
I recently purchased a Husqvarna Cape gun in 9.3x72R-16 gauge.
All information that I have points it to being a 1912/1913 year of manufacture.
I will do a chamber cast as soon as I get it home.
A few things that will initially dictate some starting points, projectile weight of course, I think its a 1:16 (once again, will check when I've picked it up) and if it is a 1:16 then I will be using 185gn through to approximately 250gn (some knowledgeable people advised me that twist rate should stabilise projectiles in that weight range).
Chamber cast will tell me barrel dimensions but an initial measurement with verniers shows up as a true .366, I am aware that some are a .364.
If the chamber cast does show as .366, I will prefer to use factory projectiles over casting but am not ruling out getting a mould to suit, and paper patching aswell.
So after that long winded rant, my question for the wise, I have real BP (Wano 2p & 3p) and Pyrodex.
Where should I start with powder amounts?
I have smokeless data but cannot find anything for BP.
Thanks in advance
Peter
