I found my wife a .56 SB by TC, which bears an eerie resemblance to her two Renegades (cue “Twilight Zone” theme). First three roundball shots at 25 yards grouped abt 2.5”.
I got all this written down somewhere but loading a 70 grain powder measure of #4 shot over 60 grains of FFF provided adequate groups on a turkey head target at 25 yards. This needs work - i was using shredded vegetable matting from a flower planter thingy soaked in mink oil boot waterproofing stuff as an overpowder wad. It worked but i think i was getting some serious gas blow-by.
Properly loaded, i think that .56 smoothy will probably prove a potential one gun for everything out to 50 yards.
