I thought I’d spend some more time learning how to use this shotgun - finally. I haven’t touched it in 2yrs.
I used 80g first, then 75g V T7ff with 1/8” over powder card, 1.5oz 2shot with buffer. I used 1/2” pre lubed fiber wads under the shot & on top of the thin over shot card.
At 35yds,
80g seemed a little too hot for this gun, so 75g seemed better.
Neither load patterned well enough to hunt with at that range. The barrels are 30” cyl/mod.
The last shot I fired the ramrod must have jumped out enough that it blew off the brass 12ga brass end & a little below that. So now I need a new hickory ramrod for 30” barrels. I’ve found them on TOW for 28” but none for 30”.
Any suggestions on where to order a replacement would be appreciated. I didn’t see the one I need on Pedersoli or Dixie gun works.
