the squirl hunting today was on the poor side...wind got high after i got in the woods..only seen 1 squirl that old 10 ga hammer gun took care of him....35 grains of bluedot and a 1 1/4 ounce shotof 6s make a good low recoil shell for squirls....harry i wish had been here to help me solve some some of these problems with this old cannon....seriosly i had no shoulder discomfort... i was only using 35 grains of bluedot and 7/8 ounce shot...like shooting a20 ga....but i do have the slug load figured out with very little recoil...but will probably have to keep my yardage short to about 30 yards unless i get to shooting better...harry do you think that 000 buckshot will lay better in a 8 ga hull than 00 buck will...i have some 00 buck that tom armbrust loaded for me...they will really shoot good and pattern fine....i took a doe last year with the buckshot....i have loaded my own 00 buck but would like to try ooo buck... what do you think about it....charlie
