Neat, I have and shoot a Grade 2 Syracuse L. C. Smith hammerless and an Ithaca NID (below 500,000), both in 10 gauge.

I use Alcan 10 gauge all brass hulls, MEC 10 gauge wad cut to length, Single F Black powder and #3 steel shot for the Smith.

For the NID, I use smokeless and Remington Plastic hulls.

What 10 and 16 are you using?
