Thanks everyone for the replies. I am in NJ so if there happens to be someone in the state to recommend i might be able to see about having the gun checked out. As for the loads i do think ill order something from Polywad. The Remington Express Long Range loads give to much recoil, but they were the only ammunition i could find available locally. If i am able to get the gun checked out, does anyone fire federal buckshot in theirs? This seems to be the only available buckshot. Thank you again everyone for the help, and i enjoyed reading this site, it is a very nice resource out there, thanks again.
