Charlie,

You might check with Craig Smith at Cirlre Fly Wads. One of the things he found with fiber wads and guns with no choke is that there is no constriction to "catch" the felt wad as it exits the muzzel and that it will blow the pattern. you might try just two over shot cards and no cushion wad to see if you get a better spread. Another thing about cylinder bore guns is that with small shot you will get a big pattern and with buck shot you will get a very small patern. I have shot single hole patterns with triple-ought buck out of a cylinder bore gun at 25 yards. Keep us up to date as I know I wish I were there to help relieve your shoulder of some of the burden.

Harry
