Some of the punkin balls in the older Remington hulls have me hang fires . But the ones that went off correctly looked okay from the left barrel . The 10 pellets of 000000 has a bit of a push to it but the two I shot from the right barrel looked decent enough . Incidentally these were shot at 30 yards . This was with slightly less powder and a more stable rest . 785’s then 795’d then two targets of buckshot , the 795 has four shots the two at the bottom were hang fires .

Took a slight turn today . Loaded some punkin balls with fiber and card wads . Card over the powder then a few fiber wads . They seem to fit very well . I’d picked up a bunch of 8 gauge stuff couple months ago so why not try it . Loaded two with the .795” ball , three with the .785” ball and four buckshot with the Gualandi wad . All in nice new Remington hulls . I’ve also found putting just a skoosh of white grease on the end helps quite a bit in the roll crimping process .

Shot all the roundball loads and didn’t care for the results . Shot 000000 buck in the right and left barrels as well . The buck loads looked very decent at 30 yards . Tommorrow I’ll load some more punkin balls with the SP-8 wads in new hulls then try two out the left barrel of both .785” and .795” . And hopefully we can go from there . With the buck the right barrel was fired at the one with the yellow bullseye and the left barrel at the one with four bullseyes .

Tried the DH today just for kicks and giggles Two .795” punkin balls with three wraps of masking tape out of the right barrel . A bit high but I can deal with and a load of 000000 buck out the left barrel , that’s 10 smaller roundballs of .415” .

Incidentally as usual the pics turned to the left ninety degrees . Both pics should show that loads a bit above POA but windage in pretty decent order .

Decided to try the .775” 730 grain conical slugs again . But this time using International Clays 31 grains . A Remington hull , Chedright primer , Remington SP-8 wad and four 1/8” 12 gauge cards . Also put four wraps of plain old masking tape to build the diameter a bit and hopefully cut down on barrel leading . If I get home this afternoon before dark I’ll try three from the right on one target and three from the left on a second target . I’ll set my box at about 27 yards I think .
