I would rather leave both guns as they are I have observed shells all cost about the same. I wont be shooting enough where cost will be a factor. As for reloading gun shops in area have not been able to get shot of anykind. I understand the principle of reloading been doing it since 1960. i have been cutting and recrimping new factory 00 buck. for the mod 12. there are wild dogs in the area dont want to use cf rifle. the model 12 has been untouched since 1917 its not collecter grade but I respect its age. probably better gun than the fox thou it also is untouched. I will leave these guns like I got them not out of value but out of respect for what they are. A couple of old guns that have come through time to me. I thank everyone for their input. Buying the proper amunition is my solution for now. I can always modify the modern stuff.
Thanks for everything from this forum
Tom
