    WANTED 20 Gauge Shotgun Ammo - lead shot, buckshot, round balls, etc

    If you are not wanting a lot the best bet is to buy 20 shot shells and cut them open for the buckshot and loose bird shot. I have 3 Pedersoli's 20 ga's. 2 SXS flinters and 1 percussion. I use leather wads for over shot wads and wool felt wads for under the shot and over the shot. The felt is...

    Pedersoli recommends TSS without shot cup?

    At 25 yards that will definitely kill a turkey. Instead of going the TSS route you can also purchase Nickel plated lead 6's which may improve the pattern even more. I took a lot of waterfowl with those. Also please be careful of Pedersoli's translation as they are sometimes not accurate. It is...

    Pedersoli recommends TSS without shot cup?

    Absolutely stupid idea. Do not shoot TSS without a protective shot cup. It is 95% tungsten. I shoot it but with the appropriate shot cups. TM is soft like lead. Shot a lot of it back in the early 2000's. TSS is 95% or more pure Tungsten. I have shot it off and on since 2010. 7's will kill...

    Something Fishy going on with Pedersoli "Old English" model

    Sir, I believe the one pictured is a 20 ga model which is beautiful. Looks like they are for sale in Europe. May be able to order one for Stateside delivery. Weight wise I believe they hover around 7 pounds. Call Flintlocks Ect and find out. Last phone number I have for Mr Richard Beauchamp...

    Something Fishy going on with Pedersoli "Old English" model

    Agreed, a 12 ga should be able to handle anything up to a 100 grains of 2Fg or 90 grains of 3Fg and 7/8 oz to 1 1/4 oz. What is on the barrels is a basic recommend stating point. Here is a good reference. This is a standard Pedersoli book that came with my first 20ga. No load markings were on...

    Difference in patterning between lead and bismuth/tin shot?

    Have you heard of shot collars like the old Winchester Mark 5, or Mylar or Teflon wraps? They are used to protect the shot and or the barrel depending on what type of shot you are using. I use the same concept. I shoot Pedersoli's 20 gauges which are .625 in bore diameter. So you take your...

    Muzzleloading shops and ranges in Huntsville, AL?

    Just looked at their requirements and really? I don't shoot pistols ergo, I do not need a pistol permit as I do not pack. I shoot mainly shotguns because I am so far sighted that pistols are worthless to me. I shoot 3 muzzleloaders in 20 gauges and cartridge O/U's in 28ga and 20ga. Wish you the...

    CLOSED Muzzleloader magazines for free

    You might tear off the address portion like I do and donate them to the library. They love mine. Better than the trash recycling. Good luck.

    Most affordable smoothbore kit

    Others may balk and I do not own one but I have seen them at Dixie Gunworks, that is the Pedersoli Indian Trade Gun. They do come as a kit gun. Wish you the best of luck for what ever you go with.

    Cushion wads and my favorite load so far.

    Go to Hobby Lobby and by the bulk scrap leather like I do. Or look online for scrap leather supplies. Pretty easy to purchase. I use the leather wads I make as over powder wads. I use 2 of them over powder and 1 to seal the bore. Lubed felt goes under the shot. Both of my 20 ga Pedersoli's shoot...
