	Surprised it's .38 Special. I would have expected it to be .38 Long shotshell in that era.

	Sorry I was not clearer about what it was chambered for. As it is chamber less and un-marked as to caliber any case with a .378 or so base will work. I am planning on finding a few .357 max cases to try it out if spring ever gets here. cheers, laurie

	If you use the long .357 maximum and come up with a good wad system you don't need the plastic shot capsules Still small bore like a 35 best use small shot Boats

	Just read about these within the last week, but don't remember which author.... John Taylor, PO Ackley or JA Hunter. Talked about ornithology guns.... Pretty sure was Hunter appropriately titled " Hunter "
