Very good thread. Joe, you have a very nice DH10. Here is mine that has seen a little more abuse. It is an 1891 mfg #3 frame 32" damascus bbls and I too am loading up #2 bismuth in cut down Federal Cases. One of Sherman Bells loads.

My 5 year old holding up the 10# gun, the chessy looking on.






This duck gun is a Parker GH mfg1890 #2frame 30" bbls 8lbs

Craig, the DH is a #3 frame with 30" barrels. Built 1910.

You can get NiceShot from Ecotungsten. It is tungsten instead of bismuth but is manufactured to be soft. It is pricey but can be purchsed in 1kg quanities. I picked up some #5 shot but have not had a chance to load it up. What is your gun choked? Is it choked the same as the Parker letter indicates (if you have a letter)? Mine has been overbored a couple of times to clean it up and the constriction is now super full. I have yet to hit the patternboard to find out how it is throwing them. Bismuth/tungsten and the like is too expensive to be shooting much at paper. It kills Geese so that is all that matters.

Thanks,
Kurt

Are the special built duck guns found in the clubs, and the farmer grade double duty guns for the backwater loafers?

You're right Lowell, farmers are just "backwater loafers" ...what about you Lowell, you're above all those farmers...a regular legend in your own mind

Hey this is easy...just follow your posts and discredit everything you say...just like you do to me...
