Thanks for the replies. Both guns appear to have unaltered chokes--the VB is M/F, the WS SK2/F. Larry, the possibility of a trip up north to pheasant country is certainly in the back of my mind, but I'd probably be using 1 1/16 or at most 1 1/8 oz in guns that light. My understanding was that British 2 3/4" proof was up to 1.25 oz, though not at the high velocities and pressures of typical US loads. Wouldn't the RST pheasant load (1.25 oz. @ 1200 fps) wall within the Webley's service range? Even if yes, I doubt I'd want to subject myself or the gun to the pounding.
