Gentlemen,
I've long lurked at this site, and believe I've even corresponded with a member here related to one of my father's doubles (An Alex Henry 450-400 2 3/8's BPE).
I recently inherited all of his British doubles, and had a question related to his Alex Martin 12 gauge. I am hopefully deducing some of the marking correctly but could use some eyes that know what they're looking at.
my two questions are: Would you shoot a 1 ounce load of #5's from RST (2.5 inch shell) in this gun and how do you tell how it is choked? I'd very much like to use this gun in honor of Dad when I get out to chase grouse both in the mountains and on the plains.
Here is the photo of the proof marks:
Many thanks for any information, this site has been invaluable in figuring out how to load for the three BPE's that dad had.
