Lancaster - That is a fancy gun compared to mine. I wonder what model mine is? Is it a 1-off early M17 due to the oversized 16 bore rifled barrel and the straight stock? The chamber is full length, not a short one and will allow a plastic 2 1/2" case with a .684" round ball seated on top easily, withough touching the throat. The loads I used with 2.45" brass and ball seated 1/2 way in, have a bit of a jump to hit the throat and rifling - this is a pressure reducer & didn't seem to hurt the accuracy. I don't suppose it has much value over being a 'wierd' gun, but is a shooter. I've thought of relieving the left barrel's full choke to allow better patterns, but suppose I should shoot it first. heh,heh. I plan on using it for the BP ctg. gun trap shooting at Hefley Creek Rendezvous next August. A nice modified pattern would be great. Adjusting the handloads will do that for me. I also thought of reducing the barrels to 24" and installing rifle sights - am resisting that so far.

Actually, the straight rifled tube is a 13 bore on the grooves (.703") and a tight 15 (loose 16) on the bore(.671"). I have some 14 bore wads on-order for it at .703" diameter. I thought the .720" wads for the 13 bore might be a bit tight getting into the cases. I'd rather not have to bell the case mouths to seat the wads. I expect compression of the fibre wads upon ignition will tighten them up a bit & seal just fine. I ordered the fiber wads lubed. The undersized fibers I hand lubed and tried along with the single & double oversize 1/16" card wad seemed to work OK so far.
