Shed load-- wow, what is that in Limey speak, Toby- about like a Schmidt load--?? I had a older Purdey hammer gun island locks, Whitworth barrels with the "Sheaf of Wheat" stamps 12 bore-many years ago had the late Bill Jaqua of Findlay, OH sell it for me-have no idea what it would fetch today--almost wish I had kept it, although my chances to shoot it on a grouse moor in Scotland are about the same as me becoming the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court-- Foxy--
