About
What it is, and why it matters
The Caesar Guerini Forum is an Italian over-and-under break-action shotgun built in Brescia as a high-grade field gun. Offered in 12, 20, and 28 gauge with 28-inch (711 mm) barrels, it features a hand-polished coin-finished steel boxlock receiver with enhanced hand engraving, a single selective trigger, interchangeable flush-fitting choke tubes, a Turkish Circassian walnut stock with a Prince of Wales grip, and a full-length one-piece trigger guard. It is aimed at upland and game shooters who want a finely finished Italian double for the field.
Caesar Guerini was founded in 2002 by brothers Giorgio and Antonio Guerini, heirs to a Brescian gunmaking family, and the Forum sits toward the upper end of their field range as a showcase for the house's hand engraving and Circassian walnut.
Comes with a set of five nickel-plated flush chokes and a fitted hard case. Receiver carries Caesar Guerini's Invisalloy protective finish over the coin-hardened surfaces.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
