I'm looking at an Ithaca Hammerless that's for sale locally. It may be a Crass model, marked "Hammerless" and has "Nitro Powder Steel" marked on rib. Not Damascus barrels.
Assuming this gun is fully functional, what modern ammo is safe to shoot in it? Seller says it should handle all 2-3/4" high brass, including the standard length magnum.
I'm skeptical. I can believe low brass field or target loads would be OK, but high brass?????
Anyone have experience or expertise with this old Ithaca?
