I've always wanted to own one of these little gems, for the fun of plinking and the interest in a specialty type of item.
But I was thinking as I was perusing the gun autions and sales sites....
I wonder how hot you could handload for one of these guns when using the 30-30 Win 24" barrel that the 24F-12 is chambered for. Would one be limited to normal operating load recommendations in the load data books? Or because you're dealing with a single shot in a break open action would you have the luxury of stepping it up a bit?
Anybody have any experience with the shotgun/rifle combo action and what it could handle as far as the rifle barrel is concerned?
