Hello
I use a Syracuse L. C. Smith 10 gauge hammerless grade 2 for duck hunting. I load Alcan all brass hulls, black powder, MEC 10 gauge wad shortened to length, #3 steel shot and an over shot wad held on with Elmer's school glue.
HINT: Shoot the down wind bird first !!

For doves, I use an Ithaca NID in 2 7/8 chambers with #8 shot and a 6 star crimp with 1 1/8 ounce of shot.

I also shoot it at the skeet range. Quite a swinger.

Enjoy
Mike
