Completely agree, Paul. I found a few of the Remington Shur Shot Heavy Dove loads in my gun room. They're likely softer shot than the AAs. I'll run a few of them through both barrels on my grease plate, see how they look, and go from there.

I don't really need tight(er) patterns from this gun. It was M and F, but I sent it to Dean Harris and had him open them, and lengthen the chambers to 2 3/4. But, they've still got choke ...... .006" R and .016" L. Sure don't need any more tightening there for our quail here.

My one experience with Gambel's in AZ would have worked fine with those chokes. They run bad, and often flush further away.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
