That thing with Remington AccuBond sabot slugs and the Leupold 3-9 on top will generally keep three in about an inch at 100 yards !
I have the AccuTrigger adjusted to a crisp creep free 2 1/4 pounds .

Also finally got around to loading some 0 Buck loads for my bevy of 12 gauge doubles !

SR7625 using a #31 MEC bushing with twelve of the 0 Buck in a Winchester high brass shell with the REM 209 and SP-12 wad !

Got a pair of Parker's , a pair of LC Smith's , a pair of Fox Sterlingworths and the Ithaca I picked up last week that I wanna try this load .

that little 20 of yours shoots better than most of my rifles...i bet it will bring a deer down in a hurry..how far out will you shoot a deer with the 20... your ahead of me on getting the ammo ready for the hunt..i have some 000 buck loaded in the short ten..8 of them in the hull with blue dot powder...they shoot real good in a full choke parker 10 ga out to 40 yards.. charlie

The first deer I ever shot with it was a whitetail on the Blackwater NWR , she was a lasered 135 yards . Shot her behind the shoulder and she perhaps made it 20 yards after the shot .

I would say I'd be comfortable with that gun to perhaps 175 ish yards . I tried it at a metallic silhouette at 200 meters and was able to hit it . But that was from the bench and I also wonder about the energy out that far .

Got a couple rounds loade for the 20 gauge Sterlingworth to try tommorrow as well !

High brass Rem hulls , Sp-20 wad , 15 #3 buckshot and SR4756 .

Tried three of my side bys with buckshot today !

First was the little Philly Sterlingworth 20 gauge that used to belong to Robert Montgomery !
Tried that one with #3 buck 15 pellets , REM SP-20 wad , SR4756 from a MEC 24 bushing , CCI209 all in a Remington high brass hull .

The gun is pretty much M/F and both barrels did okay at 25 yards .

After that I tried the Ithaca Minier 12 gauge we just got . Was shooting a high brass Win hull with SR7625 , 12 pellets of 0 Buck , CCI209 and the REM SP-12 hull . The Minier is IC/F and amazingly it shot very nice patterns in both barrels at 25 yards . After that I tried my Philly Sterlingworth 12 gauge with the same loads this ones choked IC/M and it did pretty well as well at 25 yards . Also tried the Philly Fox with the same load except I had them loaded in Remington target hulls and they patterned pretty much the same !

Next trip I wanna bring the two V grade Parker 12's , the Utica Sterlingworth and perhaps both my LC Smith 12's .

I'm kinda thinking I'm not gonna bother with the Westley Richards or WW Greener with the buck . It'll take me awhile to kill a deer with each of those mentioned already .

glad to hear all of the guns patterned so well.. i ve got to get me some no 3 buck i would like to try one of my 20 s on a deer with buckshot some day..first i ve got to get one with the 8 ga pumpkin ball load... charlie

Let us know when you get a deer with the 8 gauge.

I am taking a friend to the range monday mid morning to let him get his ML figured out !

While I'm dealing with him I am planning to take my other Sterlingworth 12 , the 2 LC's as well as the 2 V grades and possibly the 20 gauge Sterlingworth to check them all at 25 yards with buckshot .

If the Shilen barrel for my 6.5-06 shows up tommorrow I expect I'll be tied up with that rifle over the next two weeks in prep for the Virginia gun season !
So anything else will be on the back burner for awhile .

Charlie I think I need to find some more #1 Buck my supply of that diminished quite a bit after starting to mess with the 16 gaugers !

i looked on precision reloaders a while ago and they show as having some no 1 buck in stock they even had some 25 lb bags of rem. brand buckshot in some sizes... charlie
