The Special One ...

It's the one that comes out on special occasions ... gets taken along for special occasions. The barrel is 20" .. being a singleshot the overall length is just really handy!

Previously I had mounted a shell holder on the forend for more reloads.

On one special occasion I grabbed the little gun and fired a heavy load of buckshot. The recoil ripped the shell holder off the forend! So I gave up on that idea.

Some of the special occasion loads:

500 gr. wadcutter

575 gr. round ball

Cast of wheelweight and pushed by 28 gr. of Unique it runs a bit over 1400 fps from the short barrel.
