I think I will go with a 12 since it is my first bp shotgun. I am finding that a 10 guage barrel is a bit more difficult to find. If the 12 is at least 90% as much gun and as much effective as a 10 then the 12 will do just fine. However, if the 10 is much more effective on big birds like turkeys or ducks, or if the 10 will handle significantly more shot then maybe I should take the extra time to find me a 10 bore barrel. I think I will go flinter on this rig. Any suggestions as to flint versus percussion on a fowler. I have adapted pretty well to the flintlock deer rifle I have but I have no problem with the fowler being percussion either. Ideas?
