    10 Ga. Artillery Drops Flyin' Chickens!

    Well the old Pedersoli 10 ga. SxS did another marvelous showing last Friday! As 1 of 4 in a hunting party, I was able to harvest 5 pheasants cleanly with but a single blast & I helped on two others that were drifting wounded, for a total of 7 ringnecks out of a 20-bird package, so I held-up my...

    10 ga. Folds Pheasants To Great Effect!

    Had a marvelous time pheasant hunting with a buddy & his wife last Thursday. It was her first time hunting, so she used her 11-87 (and did well). Of particular note to those of this forum is that the other two members of the hunting party both used Pedersoli 10 ga. SxS cap guns. I used a load...

    My Walker Pig Is Good Eatin'!

    Last month on the 17th, I harvested a pig with my Uberti Colt Walker. That's the 166 year-old model (reproduction, of course). 52 grains of 3Fg Goex under a 225 grain Lee conical did the job with a 1-shot stop through both lungs as the conical expanded upon impact. Just wanted to say that...

    Confusion Over Sights On A Smoothbore

    I've been using my 10 ga. Pedersoli SxS percussion shotgun with patched round balls in our Club's Smoothbore division. Fired a Match in March, came in first place. Shot the same gun yesterday at the same Club and now my scores for BOTH Matches get thrown-out cause the shotgun has two beads...

    Patrick did it again! The 13 year old that was gifted the .50 Hawken just before Christmas has once again proven he's a tough competitor! He shot both Winchester/NRA Qualification targets yesterday (in a howling wind with crazy changes in direction) from 50 yards distance utilizing the...

    After I'd finished my COF at 25 & 50 yards with my 10 ga. Pedersoli SxS at the local Club's BP Match yesterday, I coached the Boy we got the rifle for while he was shooting the Hawken from 100 yards. When it was all over, I said to the Match Chairman I wanted to try to hit the target with my...

    .715 Round Balls Work Great in My 10 Ga. SxS!

    After shooting some clay birds this morning with the Shotgun League at my local club, I figured that since the gun was already dirty I'd try to shoot round balls out of the Pedersoli 10 ga. Man was that FUN! First time that I ever tried to do this, and really glad that I did! Used 80 grains...

    Well the new 2 oz. loading consisting of 1 1/8 oz. of #7.5's & 7/8 oz. of #6's in front of 80 grains of 3Fg Goex did a wonderful job yesterday! I used a .125 OP wad, then a 10 ga. Ox-Yoke wonder-wad, then a cushioned shot wad, then the 2 oz. of shot, then 2 OP cards. The 10 ga. Pedersoli...

    Story Of 13 Year Old Being Gifted A Rifle Makes Muzzleblasts Maga

    Seems that the two Charter Clubs that I'm a member of are now famous due to the article on page 26 in February's Muzzleblasts magazine. I don't usually pat myself on the back, but this case brings to light what can be done when folks who care about someone else do something that just makes...
