Thanks for the responses, I'll continue to post as I have. Seems people read all of the forums anyway like I do, so I could post anywhere and get a good response.

Just as a point of interest, I counted the empty bullet containers, and I've put over 250 rounds through the Kodiak 12 bore in the last 5 weeks. Most at 130 to 160 grains Triple7 FFg. The gun has had no reliability or structure issues thus far. I believe the .72's are built a bit huskier than the 50's (just a guess). I plan to slowly work on up to the 195 grain DG load. Regulation continues to be quite good, and improves with experimentation in patch, lube, wad combinations. Thats why I have to shoot so dang much, for every 10 grns I have to test the PLW combinations to get the best groupings. I then take down the gun (at night), inspect it, and try again.

As soon as we get the A. Hollis up and going I'll do the same with it.
