8 gauge pumkin ball

[charlie cleveland]

was a bad hunt this morning fog so thick could not see 20 yards...all we seen was a big rabbit... grand daughter had a shool event tonite so no evening hunt... and i gotta go do a cake walk with her...... loaded 5 more pumpkin ball rounds in the old 8 ga today shot the first 2 rounds at 30 steps very accurate.. next 1 shot at 35 steps about a 4 inch spred... next 2 shots at 40 steps about a 8 inch spread...this 8 inch spread is for all 5 shots...the old 8 has a huge front sight if it were smaller i think i could bring my spred down some...all the shots fired was from the right side barrel...will try the left barrel next week...i would take a shot up to 40 yards with these loads...but need to practice more before i try 50 steps....the mould is .835 i tried measuring the finshed ball but my batery on the digital caliphers went hay wire... i weighed the balls they weigh and average of 2 ounces each a pretty good hunk of lead... huh.... forrest this was the fellow you posted his name that i got my mould from...really reasonable man on his moulds... well gotta go try win a cake..aint never won nothing in my life..... charlie
