Again, ONLY after a reputable smith looks at it.

PetahW I will look those loads up and see if I can find them locally.

I did shoot the gun today. It worked very well with no problems. I used those estate loads. So I am happy I didnt pay that much for a wall hanger..

You used loads that are WAY too much pressure for that gun. You are playing with serious injury as those barrels or that action - with those high pressure loads - can let go at any time, removing body parts you would rather keep

Bigdinfl I don't have a problem getting loads that where recommend here. I will be ordering a few boxes next week.
But I just had to try the gun. And it works so now it probably will be a safe queen but I still want to have a few loads ( the right ones for that gun) on hand so if I want to just go out with it. I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge that I can use those loads I picked up yesterday. So they won't go to waste.
Thanks for your advice.
