Thanks - it's just a '40's vintage field gun upgraded by Bee and others.
I use any of the Big Three's 3" 7.5 loads. I load 2.5 inch .410, but don't try to load the 3" stuff - too fussy and I don't burn enough it for loading to be worthwhile.
Frankly I'm not all that happy with a Big Three loads - feel they could have more pep. At one point I bought a few boxes of Sellers and Beloit (spelling?) roll crimped loads that seemed (??) very snappy. I haven't been able to find them since.
In fact, those S&B cartridges were the loads used to harvest the big pile of birds shown in the pic (which were were only a small part of the bag that day). I work as a guide at a hunting club, we were doing a last day clean-up scratch hunt at the end of last March. As I recall, I killed 28 birds with the little gun that day (over my pointy dogs, of course) and lost none.
