6 dram 8 bore?
07/04/21 01:23 PM

I started loading for a light (13lbs) smooth bore 8 bore double ball gun. The barrels are nitro proofed Damascus. I thought that I would start with a 6 dram equivalent of Blue Dot (55gr) just to get a feel for it. Left/right looks pretty good. (Please ignore the .30cal holes). I loaded four rounds for L/R pairs but the last round wouldn’t fit as the belt of the industrial hull wasn’t sized down far enough. (I knew that I should have checked). Regardless, I’m encouraged given the first load on the first outing
Target I’ve always heard that the 8 bores were 8 to 10 dram ball guns. Did they also load 6 dram? I see that they did for shot, no longer too surprised by the exceptions. If this turns out to be a six dram ball gun, I’ll put it in the same class as my 2” 12 bores (rifle and shot). Thanks as always. K
