My 10 bore double rifle has arrived

The 10 bore double rifle has arrived at my daughter's house. I've never seen the charge load on the barrel flats before.

Spot on Casper. Looks in very good condition. No better feeling than when they turn up. Except when you shoot them.

Nice, however 7 drams = 191gr. I thought that was the heavy 12 bore load according to W.W.Greener's 9th edition of THE GUN.
It is the load I used in a 12 bore I had, with "Whitworth Fluid Steel" barrels.
Could be a lighter 10 bore load, of course.
It made 1,550fps with a 14 1/2 bore ball.
I see you got what looks like a Tanner mould for it, as well. Good stuff.

I had it sent to my daughter in North Carolina. The auction house wanted to charge me $300 for shipping and only charged $78 to her. I'll pick it up when I go down next month an fly it back.
