well, I went and did it ... sitting in my basement is what started out as a very rusty .54 percussion barrel, which I bought in the knowledge that rust wasn't going to be a problem for long ... sent it off to Bobby Hoyt and
shaZAAM!!
a lovely new twenty gauge ... he said a few months, but I had it back in a few weeks, and everything good said of him is exactly for true: his work is fabulous!
in all probability, it will eventually end up as a flinter, to match its little buddies- -a fifty and a fifty four ...
so the 'dumb question' - can anyone give me a good starting load for this guy? probably looking at turkeys and maybe kwerl.
thanks!
