Looks very similar to a 20 ga. trade gun I had years ago. Your stock is a lot nicer. Mine was quite accurate with a load of 70 grs. of 2f and a patched 20 ga. ball, for the life of me don't remember ball diameter. Always tried to keep the ball diameter as close to bore diameter as possible with a thin linen patch. Shot one deer with it at about 60 yds. standing, shot it through the front shoulders and anchored it right there, a large doe. Sorry to say I let it get away from me years ago. You have a beauty, you'll get the hang of it, hope the windage is not a problem, then one just has to master elevation at different yardage. Good luck with your new flinter.

I'm using 70 gr. 3F with a .017 patch and .60rb. I went to the range today and shot real good groups. I've got the windage down, I just need to work on the elevation I'm shooting 3" low at 25 yds. I really like this smoothbore. JR
