Joe - you say all 3 of your BP guns shot better with "full power loads". Do you remember what they were or has it been too long ago? I've got a 10, 14, 16 and a 12 that'll eventually be shipped. Reckon the 9,10 & 13 are pretty close(?)

trelig - he used 2 f, goex. I'll experiment with others. My 18 bore double rifle LOVES swiss 1.5

ROMAC - I vaguely recall that article. I'll look it up again.

Ding & Dave - too late. I'm WAY hooked.

Joe - All my hunting for birds is within 30 yards, if not 30 FEET! For some reason I think of you as more of a waterfowler. Is that correct? Maybe because you love WC Scott guns and for some wacky reason I always associate Scotts with waterfowling. Don't ask me why.
