Re: Hit the "Wood Lottery" (Browning Citori CXS 20 ga)

Congratulations, that is one pretty piece of wood. I was sitting in a deer blind a few years ago and glanced down at my Ruger #1 and remember thinking that it sure was easier to be sitting there with a beautiful rifle than with a piece of plastic.

Now that I'm retired one of the things I want to work on most is a round ball load from a 28 gauge. I have an H&R single shot that reminds me of a trapper's trade gun. The light recoil just calls out to me. I'm thinking I'll end up with a .54-.58 cal round ball from a smooth bore.
