I've found a pretty good selection at the Dicks in Enfield, CT for pheasant loads. I've found and awesome selection for slugs and buckshot at Kittery Trading Post - yes, I plan on using my 16 for deer this year, hope that doesn't break any of the COB rules.
Actually, I'm only using 2 guns this year - my Sweet 16 for pheasant/grouse and then deer, and then my .50 muzzleloader which shouldn't count against me, since it is muzzleloader season. Although, I guess if I really want to fit in here, I should start looking for a .66cal frontstuffer - or is that being too extreme?
Hmmmm, wasn't the Brown Bess a .69? There's got to be something close. Crap, what have I started?!! |

The Bess was .75 or .77 depending on the model, the Charleville which the Frogs supplied to the Continentals was a .69.
I have a reproduction Officer's Musket, shorter and lighter than the full size Bess, it is a .66.
