Terry: the
long version of "what load should I use" is toward the bottom here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZIo0y746UsSRZIgRuuxwAbZjSBHitO_EanvwLYc-kGA/editThe
medium version is "loads for which the gun was designed" with a recognition that
both pressure and recoil (load weight and fps) matter, and the mechanical lock up and wood are now > 100 years old.
The
short version is (after the gun has been evaluated by a double gun specialist) pick a 1 oz load at 1200 fps or less and be happy
BTW: nice gun that should give you lots of pleasure, but Bro. Rocketman is being generous. The market today for even lightly used vintage "field grade" American and Belgian 12g doubles is very poor, and not likely to improve.
