I have shot literally thousands of shells through my Bakers. They are both Twist and Damascus, depending what I am going to do that day. I have shot rd. after rd. of trap with these Bakers and brought down many doves. I reload and shoot 1oz. loads using mostly using Nitro 100 and Solo 1000. I have also used 7/8 oz. loads and they are sweet to shoot and may shoot allot more if them.
