Yes i have that book but a latter edition. Those early writers WERE NOT armchair experts as they developed their opinions through actual experience.

Is there a 10, or is your book, earlier, Grouch?

Nice Bird Oakabow!  Daryl, my Greener book is a modern re-wright of the 9th edition with a lot of added illustrations and text.  Over 800 pages.

I see. Mine is only 781 pages, then the index. After the index, is a whole bunch of re-printed adds.

Just finished, not a "turkey load" but built for turkeys and deer not for cylinder bore purists.
36" .62 barrel with a .57 threaded choke (barrel by Bobby Hoyt) Chambers English lock. Thread protector on the .62 barrel for roundball choke tube for turkeys.

Not very aesthetically pleasing, but interesting concept for sure.
