An excellent specimen that will be a joy to use. My old 8 now only gets used for inland flighting in Scotland where I can still use lead loads. I have some nitro loading recipes from Douglas Macdougall's books on eight bores; copies are now rare and fetch a good price, and from old Shooting Times articles that I saved. Powders used are mainly Blue Dot and Vectan AO. Black powder is still fun to use and, I think, gives better results. Lagopus.....
