The first drilling I hunted with a hammer 16/16/9.3x72 in the 1960's doing control work on feral dog packs, with two loads of buckshot and the rifle barrel it was nearly the perfect weapon for the job. Near or far it did the job, my partner carried a scoped rifle and always liked the fact that there was a double dose of buckshot to back him up. The drilling was borrowed and returned after the work was done. I was totally taken by that drilling and was able to find one like it a number of years ago, It was in rough shape, broken stock that I repaired and got it up and running again. The barrel is pretty rough but still shoots well enough to hunt with and I'm going to experiment with paper patched bullets in it. The shotgun barrels are great and would make a superb shotgun by itself, 2 1/2" 16ga.
