An old bigbore shooter like me, I'm maybe a bit more interested in loading some heavy loads to shoot through those blued barrels.

I surely could use some of that 'plating' on my upland guns, the season seems to produce snow, sleet, or freezing rain for me... mixes them all together some days. I have held some of your single-shots. I'm just curious what a lightweight Tonks or Kirkwood 12 might weigh?
