So after my last trip to the range with my 28 gauge smooth bore and the success I had I thought today I’m gonna see can can I get some success with the monkey gun.I have had it a few years know and never could get it to shoot that good.well wouldn’t you know it likes the same loading as the flint lock.Finally ,so all these years of you guys saying less powder tightens the group It finally sunk in and I tried it .well I loaded her up with 40 grns of 2f an nitro card ,paper shot cup made oe 3 wraps of news paper then 60 grns eq #7 1/2 shot and a home made OS card out of a corn flake box.here ya go enjoy.all we’re shot off hand,is hot some of the cans with#6
And one with 7 1/2 but it started raining before I could see how it patterned with #6 .Next timeI go I well try it out,I was really taken with how tore up the cans with # 6 shot.so if I can hit them I should have 2 chicken guns ready this fall .
