That looks like one hell of a beast.
Clays or feather?

Clays would be fun, but I'd either need and anti-aircraft mount or zap a trap full in one goClays or feather?
I shoot and I vote
is it in proof?

Extremely unlikely... fortunately there is no requirement to have an antique gun in proof if you only want to shoot it

But most clubs insist on guns being in proof if you want to fire it on a range.
Of course being m/l shotgun you can use solid shot.

Not the clubs I belong to
Re-enacting would want it in proof though
Being a shotgun I can use it anywhere reasonable with the land owner's permission. For ball I could shoot it at Bisley who are H/O approved and have no MKE/bore limitation for BP only guns on most of their ranges.
Have to be a lead ball though, iron is a bit too risky without collosal windage.
