Buckshot

<< < (2/3) > >>

RichG:
I've tried #4 in cyl bore and choked muzzle loaders. Loaded bare, no plastic wad ,no buffering, a coyote is safe at 30yds. Maybe a modern turkey type wad unslit with some buffering might work. I'm trying to stay more HC and plastic wads are hard to load in chocked guns.

Daryl:
If using plastic, should use a card wad between the plastic and the powder.  In BP suppository shot loads, I found the plastic melted onto the bore
if not separated from the powder by a card wad.

RichG:
If using plastic wads, I would use a card wad over powder.

Eric Krewson:
I have never heard anyone mentioning a Skychief load for buckshot, I wonder if it would make a difference, it sure made a dramatic difference in my turkey load patterns.

Daryl:
That's what experimentation is all about.Oft times, no 2 guns are alike in what they WANT.
