Daryl and Tinker and Everyone else,
This is all new to me, so I appreciate any comments.
BTW I think I read once that it is not good to use plastic hulls with black powder? That the BP generates too much heat?
Why can't brass shells be used in a 10-bore OR this rifle? Assuming they can be sourced of course.
I have a good idea whom to call about past information on this rifle. Maybe even the guy whom may have restored it.
Very nice gun. I shoot black in plastic cases in the 10 and 8 bore guns and I haven't had any problems. I have a six dram 10 bore paradox. It is one of my favorite guns to shoot recoil wise. A lot of pop in a 10 bore five or six dram load. I use Federal 3.5" 10 gauge cases and trim them to length which is 2 5/8 for the 6 dram load. Got to get all your bore and chamber measurements then start assembling your loads. I also use Bluedot powder as does Omnibob and many other bore rifle shooters.
