I made a dowel that is just under bore size (0.650"). and cut the paper so I get a 3/16" overlap along the edges when "rolled", and the strip is just long enough that when set flush at the muzzle in holds the shot column.

Well gents it's not looking good!
A; I've not even had chance to get a the TM yet!
B; the harvest has started all around me and like normal the flight of geese I did have has stopped and their movements have gone completely random again
.
I will have to be more patient I guess for a while longer.....

Good luck, and good hunting!!!!
Yes, and you were able to procure #3 shot. Depending on goose size you should have no problem out to 45 yards. On American Snow Geese it works out to 50 depending on wind conditions. Great going Britsmoothy! Keep us posted please sir. Our waterfowling season does not begin until the day after our American Thanksgiving Holiday. At least here in North AL. We are just a week away from Dove Season though and I planning on going and using my Personal Flintlock SXS 20 ga. Can't wait . Good Luck Brit!
Thank you all and yes, I could not believe my fortune when I went poking around in the shops back storeroom and saw the #3 TM shells( I am granted a lot of freedom in this store)!
There is so much stubble about now and the pool they roost on is not as attractive as yesteryear. It is very overgrown and losing water so where upon it was a pretty sure flightline it is now very irregular.
Some early mornings they favour a barley stubble field I have access to so I will be watching that too.
I'll be listening out for your shots Historian, if I can find my ear trumpet!

Thanks Britsmoothy, I hope you are having better luck than I have this week. My poor 81 year old daddy came down with Covid 19 this past Tuesday and my 76 year old mother came down with it on Friday so no dove hunting for me this weekend.
The Lord has blessed me with good health and I have tested negative so far! Both parents are recovering slowly but again we have been blessed! There is another hunt coming up in 2 weeks in another field that the farmer has not cut yet so we will see. Hope you have some good shooting my friend.

Shucks, that must of worried you all sick!Thanks Britsmoothy, I hope you are having better luck than I have this week. My poor 81 year old daddy came down with Covid 19 this past Tuesday and my 76 year old mother came down with it on Friday so no dove hunting for me this weekend.
I'm glad they are recovering.
Covid is a pain in zee butt.
I'm convinced we all had way back in the beginning, before we alll knew about it. A friends brother deals with paint and guess which city in China he had just returned from just at the start of it all?
Take care friend. The pigeons and doves will be there another time.
Just don't get messing with bats though!
