For the first time in a while I reloaded a few rounds. These particular animals are for an 1891 T&S German Combo gun 8X72r/16 Gauge. Still working on load development trying to get it to shoot to the sights which has been challenging. The rifle is more than capable (I’ve done it) of sub MOA groups, the problem is they’re 8” above the bullseye. These particular loads are:
Cases trimmed and sized from 9.3X72r brass
185 grain cast w/gas check
29 grains H4895
Winchester LR primers
These will be moving around 1800fps @ 19000psi and I’m hoping by moving up from 28 grains that I can get it to come down some. Not sure how much until I try so fingers crossed. @OkieJoe72 helped me unload a few which gave me some empties. Here’s a pic and for reference I placed a 30-06 underneath.

I know I’ve shown you guys the rifle before but thought you might like seeing it again. I gotta take some better pictures. 🤦🏼‍♂️
