I just got this gun a couple of days ago at an auction. I had a gunsmith look at it...he said that it looked in excellent condition and had been recently fired. I asked him if it was safe to fire, but he was concerned about modern loads with it being a "Damascus" barrell. He referred me to this forum to ask if anyone had any advice. I have talked to several friends and all agree that regular modern shells would probably not be good, some have said to get paper black powder rounds. Some have said to shoot regular rat shot. Some have said that a low power round made by RST shells are good. Hard to find those locally here in Charleston.
Here is the link to RST http://www.rstshells.com/rst_classic_sh ... shells.htm.
If I go this route by ordering from them, which round would you recommend? Thanks for any advice.
