Just posted today on an other forum.
"I have a trio of old W.C.Scott hammerless damascus shotguns and ALL are capable of handling moderately loaded smokeless loads as well as a nice old Parker 16 gauge hammerless . Incidently just about 10 days ago I flattened a less then bright Virginia Whitetail at 26 yards with the old W.C Scott 10 gauge that belonged to my maternal grandfather for over 50 years ! I used a load Ross Seyfried used in a gun exactly like mine for 1 1/4 ounces of shot . But instead of using the shot I put twelve 00 Buck pellets in ! Shooting this load offhand at 25 yards on a pattern board one shot from each barrel gave me a 15" pattern with ALL 24 pellets accounted for inside the circle ! That deer also happened to be the first deer I have EVER killed with buckshot . Kinda cool it was with my grandfathers old 10 gauge and a load I assembled myself." |

that was a fine story.. it reallyworks a fellow up when you kill a deer withand old shotgun and espesilly with a load a fellow has made up his self....you and others know that feeling.....congratulations on the kill with that wc scott and roll your own load.....its fairly easy to take a doe with a centerfire rifle but you have to let them come close with bucksot....i hope to take one soonwith my short ten load...killed one with buckshot in 8 ga last year...hope a few more pitch in and tell of there use of buckshot on game.... charlie

It indeed gives you an appreciation for the people of long ago that
had to do it all with just one gun. (feeding & protecting the family) I can see how a SxS would have been a good choice. Small game hunting with one barrel, the other barrel at the ready with a round of buck shot. |

well genteman this evening i changed straegy and decided to use a slug load for this evenings deer hunt...was using the 8 ga parker...the slug load was a 10 ga slug i borrowed from a 3 1/2 in shell...it worked fine on paper....well i got to my stand at 4.00 pm at 4.45 the big doe walked by my stand and started grazing...she was a little nervous but soon settled down....she was a large doe and she was by her self....shes was at about 50 steps so i had to wait hoping she would come closer...she finally came within about 20 steps...i already had the hammer back on the right barrel...i took a good aim on her shoulder then squezed the trigger...what a surprise i got the primer went off with little more than fizzle...that 1 3/4 ounce slug never even got to the doe..it just barely got out of the barrel...well needless to say the doe didnt give me a 2nd chance..she throwed up that big flag an said see you later...i didnt know weather to be mad or laugh i decided just to laugh..i guess thats why they call it hunting....when i got home i checked my other slug load..i had forgot to seal the slug with hot glue....but you know what through error im learninh every day and its made a good story for you fellas... hope this makes your evening it did mine.... charlie

Charlie,
I can't begin to count the times I have had to laugh at what just happened and or what I had just done while hunting. Thank the Good Lord I never hurt any one..... Harry |
