Bill,

So glad to see you have recovered enough to make this post. Next will be the shooting range!

What a fine woods gun you have there. Although plain in embellishment, it is rich in workmanship and a luxury in this day and time.

The load we tried was about the minimum load under the formulas for 4198 developed by Ross Seyfried. It shot a little wide, so a tad more powder will bring it into perfect regulation.

I seem to recall that the slight spreading was no impediment to slaying rogue balloons at 50 yards offhand.

Yes you have a treasure there. Cherish it. Congratulations! Get well so we can shoot this spring in anticipation of the fall hunt.
