Follow-up on 12 bore double express rifle..........
Byron, has one of the straight-hand percussion doubles from Pedersoli. I used tightly patched round ball over a cardboard/felt wad stack, on top of FFG. Not saying how much, but you knew when it went off, allright. Similar recoil to yours. It would shoot snakeyes at 25yard POI, and a fourinch spread at sixty yards. Used as tree stand gun in a thick covert. Never got the clear shot I wanted that season, from that stand. But in impromptu tests on 'whatchagot to damage' on the burn pile, I wouldn't have been surprised at a thru on the rib cage.
Good luck with your 'hammer'.
