    Tell me of your cleaning rituals

    I do a lot of hunting with my Pedersoli SxS 12ga Multichokes. Cleaning? As many ways to do this as there are people doing it. My method for what it may be worth? Wedge out, barrels off. My big dedicated soup pot heating on the stove with a gallon or two of tap water and a small squirt of liquid...

    Plastic wads/shot cups

    Concur with x_count. Check with Rotometals. Still way spendy but their bismuth/tin works for me.

    Duck Hunting with an Original Fowler

    I use Rotometals Bismuth/tin in my Pedersoli SxS 12ga. It smacks ducks and geese just fine out to 40 yards or so. RotoMetals Bismuth Non Toxic alternative to lead

    Patterning Pedersoli SxS 12 Ga.

    Patterns look fine. Never seen a Pedersoli fixed choke that was tighter than cyl/mod. Did you custom order your gun?

    Cali Turkey... One down, two to go!

    Don't know why, but I thought I attached two more photo's that are not here. Try again.

    Cali Turkey... One down, two to go!

    9 is good but not great. Get up to 10 or 11 and you have a real trophy.

    Cali Turkey... One down, two to go!

    Season opened March 25. I have hunted several days since for nada. Just some jakes visiting Jezebel, my hen decoy. Yesterday long about noon the boss came a courting! First photo shows where he dropped, about 15 feet from me on my chair in the brush pile blind. The 1 1/4 oz load of bismuth...

    Single or SxS

    If you can use lead in your hunt area, I would suggest #6 lead shot. Your shot is to the head and neck, a small but soft target. High pellet count is the name of the game. If you are in a no lead area I suggest Rotometals bismuth/tin #6 shot. A little lighter than lead but soft and barrel...

    Heavy shot

    I use TSS in my Pedersoli's for turkey. Here is some prior discussion on the topic: https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/california-spring-turkey-opens-march-30-who-is-going-and-what-are-you-shooting.113969/

    Favorite Shot Size

    Might compare prices with RotoMetals. Hit the threshold and they pay shipping. Also, for those close and quick shots at quail, dove, and timberdoodle you might try using reclaimed shot. Opens the pattern up a bit.

    Any Interest in PETERSOLI double barrel

    12 ga Pedersoli SxS choke tube user?

    Just FYI: CDNN is selling Full, Extra Full, and Imp Cyl tubes that fit the Pedersoli12 ga for $4.99 each. The ones marked H&R are the Mossberg 500 pattern that interchanges with Pedersoli.
