    Velocity testing part one B and part two: Fg comparison, and wad testing

    I ordered the chipboard and that’s what I’ve been looking for. It was .057” and it punched out good looking card wads. I had seen it before but assumed it was kind of like partial board and would be crumbling when I tried to cut the wads. Anyway thanks for the info and for posting all your research.

    Velocity testing part one B and part two: Fg comparison, and wad testing

    I used card wads for many years. I made them from poster board I bought from a printing company and they were .050” . The company suddenly changed to some sort of plastic board and My source was gone. My question is where do you get your .050” wads? If you make them yourself where do you get the...

    Bismuth or non-lead shot

    I look forward to seeing your post on making your own bismuth shot. May be worth the investment. Lead is not really cheap these days.

    No particular game. Just trying to get a decent pattern out of the cylinder bore. The hunting I do is usually with #5 shot for squirrels. The 7 1/2 are for clays or a couple times a year for doves.

    I use the 7 1/2 shot when shooting clays. We don’t have many game birds in this part of my state unless you go for Pen raised birds and I don’t care for that. When squirrel hunting I use #5 shot and that is my main hunting interest . Since I’m trying new methods I think I’ll give the finer...

    I have noticed the same thing in the summer while wearing short sleeve shirts so I keep a long sleeve handy to avoid the cap fragments.

    a good pattern from the cylinder bore side of my 12 gauge Pedersoli SXS. Have had this gun for about 20 years but just recently started looking at patterns on paper. Have tried lots of wads and loads but have not been able to get that pattern I’m happy with. Always walk away thinking I should be...

    Blueing SXS Barrel

    Need to have the barrels blued on my pedersoli 12 ga SXS. Going to have it done professionally and don’t know much about the process. Anyone know how much heat is involved? I don’t know if the barrels are soldered but it looks like they are. Would not want my barrels to separate..ha

    Thanks Spence

    I too found Spence to be very helpful when I got into muzzle loading , especially shotguns. Someone once said reading Spences post was like taking a walk with an old friend and I agree.

    Shot Snake

    Several years ago I saw a picture of Spence ( a long time member of this forum) wearing a shot snake while hunting with his shotgun. I thought It would be nice to have one until I priced it. Pretty expensive. I found the English chargers on line for 30.00 dollars for both, bought some leather...

    Barrel regulation of SXS

    Just a word of thanks to everyone had a comment on my post. Never realized how complicated a subject it could be but enjoyed reading the replies. I have taken a fair amount of game with the double and really enjoy being in the woods with it.

    Barrel regulation of SXS

    I have a PEDERSOLI 12 ga SXS . When I shoot the left Barrel the pattern is about 3/4 to the left of the point of aim. When I shoot the right barrel I get the same results to the right. Not really a problem , over the years I have learned to adjust as necessary. Just as a matter of what you...
