    Can't get my gun to pattern

    Tried getting my gun ready for turkey season. Was shooting equal shot to powder. The more powder and shot I tried the worse the pattern. Would a fiber wad help? I have been using a 1/8 inch wad. The gun is a Pedersoli 10 ga.

    Patches for a 32

    How big do I need to cut my shooting patches and cleaning patches. I have been using some patches that I got with my gun but they are all different sizes. For cleaning I have been using a 22 cal patch that is 7/8 square. I think that is alittle small but not sure.
