Lago, it's straight out of the Hodgdon book- 23.5 gr SR7625, pushing 24 grams (my 7/8 oz MEC bar throws 24.95 grams, about 15 pellets too many), and claims a 1150 fps. Given the gun is 5 lb 13.5 oz, the recoil is still in the normal 12 gauge area.
Well, that sucks. Just heard back from Holland And Holland, they say they can't help me as the serial number on the barrel and forend wood doesn't correspond with the right gun in their books. The number on the trigger guard tang is worn ( or polished) to be illegible. I was looking forward to a better Mfg date and more info on it! But since H&H is a sponsor of the Sourthern, maybe one of their representatives their might have a better idea.
Are records in existence for Lancaster guns?
