I certainly understand about the recoil.
The Skimin & Wood 2" sold by Abercrombie was proofed for 1 oz loads.
Game Bore 24gms loads were procured in Brit 7&6.
Stout recoil when shot for POI. But is not a Target or fixed position gun, it's a gun for walking or smaller stature shooters as it was originally marketed.-Dick
