I haven't shot it much yet,the weather here has been bad. I did shoot a couple of cylinders of bird shot through it at some squirrels that were mugging my bird feeder. Obviously I couldn't pattern the rounds and didn't expect to kill anything. Imagine my surprise when I killed one at twenty feet (shooting from my bathroom window) Later that day I killed another so it wasn't a fluke. Tomorrow will be a squirrel stew day.
 
Nice family portrait!

I think I've said it all in my thread about my own The Earl. The only thing I'll add is that my barrel shaved a lot of lead for the first few rounds. Likely just part of cleaning off the sharp edge of the rifling or something. Just be sure to use a bore brush or lead solvent the first couple of cleanings to be sure to get the leading out.

Somewhere along the way I want to make up a new extended wood grip. Just long enough to get another finger into play without ruining the looks too badly.
