My pleasure, Sarg!

I know 7 drams with a light 484gr. ball stung pretty good in my .12 bore with 2 3/4" cases. The gun was only 7 1/2 pounds. Brother said it spun me around like a weathercock first shot. After that it was controllable for rights and lefts - but split the stock, of course. Duplicated those BP loads using smokeless shotshell powders for about 1/3rd recoil. The gun still shot parallel from the bores - excellent at 1,550fps. Only thing I shot with it was a 180 pound mule deer doe at 105 yards - dead deer with 1" holes in and out just under the spine. I could almost swear I saw daylight through the hole -

At almost 15 pounds, Sarg's gun must be designed for 'the heavy' load. His smokeless loads are duplicating the 9 dram load now and shoot quite well for accuracy.

He's well-healed for a buffalo now - way to go SARG!
