Mr. Myrick: Shells need to be appropriate to the gun digesting them. Older guns normally require something a bit easier on the heads of the stocks as well. I'm a great fan of the shells loaded by the good folks at RST in Pennsylvania. I shoot the 2 1/2-inch loads my gun was essentially built for, although I could use longer (2 3/4-inch shells). I'd like to think the gun should go another 110-years if I do my part.

Duck marshes are certainly beautiful places as well.

Not me, but son and namesake, George, Jr. in Bozeman, Montana sent me these pix this morning of a Speed Goat he took: Dang that's pretty country, wish I lived out there!

She's still at it. Well what have we here? Took her 30 minutes plus to swim this one down.

Hi all, went out solo today with Raina, the boys are working cows at a friends place. Was a good day, able to limit in a couple hours. Beautiful fall day, sun, cool temps and light winds. Raina did well, she's getting better with each hunt. Anyway, I used my 12b E.J. Churchill Premiere, and yes it has 25" bbls! Best! Greg
