Mr. Myrick: Shells need to be appropriate to the gun digesting them. Older guns normally require something a bit easier on the heads of the stocks as well. I'm a great fan of the shells loaded by the good folks at RST in Pennsylvania. I shoot the 2 1/2-inch loads my gun was essentially built for, although I could use longer (2 3/4-inch shells). I'd like to think the gun should go another 110-years if I do my part.

Duck marshes are certainly beautiful places as well.

Not me, but son and namesake, George, Jr. in Bozeman, Montana sent me these pix this morning of a Speed Goat he took:   Dang that's pretty country, wish I lived out there!

Hi all, went out solo today with Raina, the boys are working cows at a friends place. Was a good day, able to limit in a couple hours. Beautiful fall day, sun, cool temps and light winds. Raina did well, she's getting better with each hunt. Anyway, I used my 12b E.J. Churchill Premiere, and yes it has 25" bbls!  Best! Greg
