Double Ball Smoothbore Shooting with mixed results:

[B P Maniac Shooter]

Pioneer Flinter from this pretty cool website requested I try this video a few weeks ago.
I'm happy to try shooting 2 round balls from a smoothbore to see the results.
Here's the fun with surprising results:

Cool and interesting. I’ve been curious, what is that green thing on your hat?

 

[Britsmoothy]

Good video.
My results improved when I ditched the patches and went with wads and cards.

Its one of those silly "fidget spinners" that little kids "just had to have" a few years ago. They are a spinning thingy & I just had to try spinning one myself........black powder style. Instead of putting playing cards cut in half on your hat, I put this silly thing on there as a "trophy"...LOL
Here is what happened back in 2017:

If I would have though of that..I would have tried it. There are so many different ways to load it I'd love to try them all. I'm not sure anyone would watch a video 45 minutes to an hour long though...LOL

Sure. Not critisizing at all sir.
It's about having fun and your approach is just how I do it

I would!

I have shot buck and ball many times from my smoothbore. But double roundball, no. .69 calibre, each ball over an ounce.

Oh I agree.....I didn't see your post as criticism. There are so many ways to load a smoothbore. I'd love to try them all...just doing them on video would take a while...LOL
I'm going to pickup a small ball mould soon & pour some small balls for a buck & ball load video. I'm going to set up a lot of different cool things to shoot. That's coming soon. Thanks for watching my friend....

 

[B P Maniac Shooter]

I would!

WOW...you are very kind...thanks my friend.

Fodder??

Whats that white stuff on the ground there Mark.

 

[painter]

Fodder??

Sorry...that's Northern speak.

Material...

Does that work?

 

[Musketeer]

Two .600 balls should weigh around 650 grains or just shy of 1.5 oz. Sitting on top of 90 grains of powder, that's a pretty stout load for a 20 gauge. I hope no shoulders were harmed in the making of this video...

Ha, too much fun. Sorry about the vice grips though. : {

Yeah.....I HATE it too...Hurry up summertime, I'm ready for more shooting time!

 

[B P Maniac Shooter]

Sorry...that's Northern speak.

Material...

Does that work?

I used the thin muslin material for 2 of the shots. I usually only use it for the pistols. The ticking patches works better. I should have tried shot cards, but, guess that means I need to get out & film another one....LOL

You are pushing about 650 grains of lead down the bore with those loads. No wonder the recoil is noticeable at 90 grains.
My smoothbore flinter is an 11 bore, and the .735 round balls run about 575 grains each. Not sure I am terribly eager to work up loads with two at once ...

Both videos are great and enjoyable. When are we in store for the next one?
