Not sure if this goes here or on the hunting forum. If I’m in the wrong place please move it.
I got my gun to fire today it gave me fits lol. Water under the bridge now. Any way I got straight to the pattern board. After doing a ton of reading. I tried a plastic wad first. Wasn’t nuts about what I saw I had a huge donut almost as bad as when I tested it with the rifling still in it.
So I jumped straight to Sky Chiefs load. Using what I had on hand. I used 3 over shot cards then the shot then one shot card then a wonder wad soaked olive oil. I was using 60grs of 777.
Not but to the right and still looked open in the middle. I shot again confirmed my sights needed to come up and to the left. I’m adjusted the sights and hung another big Paper and Turkey target.
This time I keep the 1 oz of #7 nickel plated shot and dropped my powder charge to 55grs. Same cards and wonder wad. And I shot this at 20 yds.
So what do you think.
