That's wonderful!! I knew this gun showed all the characteristics of a fine gun. Too bad it wasn't a higher grade (look at me, looking a gift horse in the mouth!).

I have a flat of Gamebore Traditions 2 1/2" shells. It's my understanding that those shells generate approximately 6500 psi. I've heard that these old blackpowder era pieces were designed to withstand pressures in the 6000 to 8000 psi range. Is that consistent with what you gentlemen know?
