Hello the crew.

Well it looks like I own a WW Greener 12 Bore rifle.
I was at the Game Fair in London over the weekend, and a WW Greener 12 Bore rifle followed me home.

Hammer Gun
Damascus Steel Barrels
Recent Birmingham nitro proof
Jones underlever
Fully rifled bores
3 Leaf sight.
12x65 chambers
Antique (Pre 1898 )

Now what?

Anybody got any info ?

I have sent an email to Graham Greener, but gun came with no info.
So bullet weight and style and dram requirements are a mystery.

Should be fun.

Sorry crappy pictures, rain and overcast. Tent was too dark and outside was wet. Best I could do was balancing an my haunches but it was not steady so very blurry.

The weight of the gun along with rate of twist should be a good starting point. Hard to tell from photos but it does not look to be overly heavy. If the twist is slow I would start out with groove diameter RB and a mild charge working up. Best of luck, that is a pretty rifle.

Better tie a string to your hat when you shoot that one. Nice looking gun though...Geo

Curious, were you able to bring it back with you because it was an antique?
