Now for the choice of what to shoot! I will probably shoot my Model 17 Remington. Mostly cause I have been too busy to load 16's for my Remington. Family rule--no 12's for dove! But I could go 10 gauge Remington hammer gun?!
Anyone remember Jack Elam in a movie as a bad man hiding behind some rocks with a pile of guns trying to decide what to shoot!

Presently, I'm planning to open the GA season weekend after next with a J. Blanch & Son 12ga hammergun. However I reserve the option to change my mind about that at least once a day...Geo

I could never bring myself to shoot a hammergun in a dove field. Just too many chances of accidentally leaving a hammer cocked in the heat of the battle.

My grandfather used Super X 12's in his twist barreled hammer shotgun. He passed after a walk up rabbit hunt sitting in a kitchen chair at age 85. Do I think hammers back was good, NO. Do I think he had a good life and had an easy pass out of here, in fact how could it get better?

JR That's a good point JR but I shoot them enough to feel comfortable about it. If you don't then you should certainly rely instead upon your safety being in the correct position and in working order..Geo
