Picked up this little beauty today, an old Winchester 1885 Low Wall chambered in .410; from what I've been able to find on the serial number, looks like she's either an 1890 or 1891.
I'm gonna have a gunsmith check it out first before I even think about shooting it, but I'm wondering if anyone has any more information on these? I'm guessing she might be black powder, but I can't seem to find any info on .410 black powder ammo. Could maybe a reduced smokeless load work? The chamber's able to accommodate 3" shells, but I'm not sure that's a good idea, either.
