Saturday I shot a round of skeet with my 120 year old English, hammerless, sidelock, ejector, damascus Bozard & Co., using
2 1/2" RST Max Lights which I believe are less than 5,000 PSI. They are, of course, very soft shooting. Now, the gun was originally proofed at 3 tons. According to a table from Ballistic Products 3 tons equals 6,720 PSI. The gun was nitro proofed in Birmingham. Am I correct in assuming that a 6,700 PSI nito load is appropriate for this gun?
I would like to make 2 1/2" reloads. Ballistic Products does not offer a load under 8,000 PSI. Where can I find a recipe for a light 2 1/2" load?
I also shot my RBL 28 that day. Light as it is it was very comfortable. I'm happy with it. The standard wood looks better than I thought it would.
Thanks,
Richard
