I got to shoot it last wednesday, what a joy
Balances well, and swings easy.

Used some Black Powder Shells made as follows:
Federal Paper Hulls trimmed to 2 - 1/2"
2 - 1/2 drams 2F Black Powder
2 1/8" nitro wads
1 1/2" lubed fiber wad
1oz #8 shot
This fills the shell perfectly for a roll crimp

Some Photos

Nice gun AussieBob.
I like those chocolate barrels. They must have thick walls for those 8lbs of weight.
