Two Shotguns never Shoot the Same
All our prominent gun manufacturers realize the fact that two guns made practically alike, so much so that the closest measurements with most delicate instruments fail to disclose the slightest difference between the two, do not give like results with identical loads when tested. One of these guns may show superior results with No. 8 shot, another with No. 7, and still another with No. 9. As with the shot so with the powders used. A charge of three drams may prove the best with one arm, while it takes the fraction of a dram more to ensure like results in the other. Hence it is exceedingly important that gun and load harmonize, in order that the best shooting of each particular gun may be brought out. In the old days, when this matter was even thought of by the general sportsman, guns were condemned as being useless as shooting weapons, when, had the knowledge of such things been as good as it is to-day, a change of ammunition in its quantity might have made the shooting of such supposed worthless arm satisfactory in all respects.
