Thanks Stan, ya "Square" would refer to a load of shot equal to the bore diameter, gives less stringing, hence why a 410 3in 3/4oz load looks fine on paper but a 28ga 3/4oz load does better on game as that load fits the bore better.
I was using that link as a guide and they are referencing 1 and 1 1/8oz loads in the 14ga, but I was worried about that being too much for a 150 year old shotgun.
The 3/4oz load is about 330gr, I will see what Lee dipper works for that and then probably use that in pre-measured tubes for powder and shot for loads, that is what I do with powder for hunting with the Kentucky.
That is exactly the link I was working off of :), that article refers to modern ML shotguns though, which is why I am here, just wanting to make sure I do not do anything stupid and blow something up needlessly.
You guys are awesome.
I do not suspect this will surpass my favourite double gun but I hope to shoot it and hunt with it. My favourite double is a Western Arms "Long Range" 16ga, shot a number of grouse with it and a turkey a few years back, loves paper hull #5 loads and the smell of those paper hulls after shooting is amazing.
