I "play it safe" with my 1929 era L.C. Smith LONGRANGE- ideal grade32" F&F, DT, AE. I only use 2&3/4" Express loads, and for Turkeys, I use some older Federal Premium coppered loads- No. 4 shot-- wish they were still legal for waterfowl. I have decapitated turkeys at up to 60 paces with that Elsie--great set up- I only own 1 Ithaca double, a grade 2E NID 12 bore, 30" choked 3 & 4, DT, EJ-earlier series with the "snail titty " style cocking indicator pins. Never have owned or shot any of the previous series Ithacas, Flues, Minier, Crass, etc. seldom see any Ithacas around here for sale, except the M37 pumpguns. RWTF
