Found enough of my reloading stuff to load up some 2 7/8" 10 bore brass cases with round ball yesterday. Went to the range this morning to see how they fly. Went really well. Recoil wasn't as bad as expected, barrels shot together, both having a decent group. Loaded them with 180 grains of FFF Curtis & Harvey black and some balls that came from the mold that came with the rifle. Pretty happy with the way it all went.
Its nice to see that my Buckstix Paradox Crimping Tool is working for you for loading the brass shells. Over the years I have made 88 Crimping Tools for fellow shooters ranging from 410 bore up to 4 bore. I am now also making the Buckstix Roll Crimping Tool for loading paper shells.
Is there any evidence of "ball migration" in the second barrel? I notice that you didn't check the shell in the left barrel before shooting it. I assume the crimp keeps the left barrel ball in place, even with ten gauge recoil. Great vidio by the way.
The ball doesn't move at all in the left barrel. Since it was the first time firing it with the standing shots, I didn't load the left barrel but did cock it to see if it would release with recoil. The recoil isn't so bad that I'd be afraid the crimp would loosen.
