Why Bill, I do believe you may well have solved my problem. Many Thanks!
You kinda took the rug out from under me with the Patrick Mullin question. And then, genius that I am, realized "rocky mtn bill" must be Bill Ferguson!
I wish I could tell you that I shot up the woods last season with that beautiful Mullin but the truth of the matter is that I lost the WHOLE bird season due to my being laid up terribly with my sciatica.
And It's plagued me from new complications since. In fact I just had yet another MRI last Friday.
I am sorry to say I have yet to shoot that gun. The funny thing is that not 2 days ago a slip of paper fell from a folder of mine and on it was this: Mullin Load 4 Drams FFg 1 1/2 oz #6 Circle Fly Lubed Wad
I believe that is your recommended diet, no? Hopefully, this chance occurrence was heaven-sent and bodes well for the near future!
Best Regards - Marc
By the way, to this day I maintain that buying that beautiful gun was one of the wisest purchases in my entire gun-addicted life. Thank you again.
