Hi all I'm new to the forum, I love the Elsie's like I'm sure everyone here does...My question is: I've found a Damascus 12 that is in unreal condition. It is as near perfect as any I've seen in forty years of collecting. I've always stayed away from the Damascus guns but this one is almost like new. My gunsmith said "I'd shoot any load you want in this gun". Well I'm not so sure about that but I just wanted to hear what loads and length shells you guys shoot in a gun of very good condition. Even though it's heavy, I'd like to take it to the dove field this fall....
