just a thought
 

well as most know i ve wanted to take a deer with the 8 ga punkin ball load for a few years now...some way its just not been in thebook that i get one with this round..im limited by range accuracy for sure35 yards is as far as i will shoot but would like for the big one to be at 25 yards or less...will soon start practiceing again but will have another old parker 8 to help practice with who knows it may be a better shooter than the gun ive been useing..i truly look forward to hunting season again..does anyone else have anything they can add on useing the roundball load...charlie

Charlie, Nothing to add but this is the Year :)

thanks craig i hope this is the year....it sure is a lot of fun foolin around with these round ball loads... im very sure the 2 ounce round ball will have lots of effect on that deer when the two meet up or connect... i wish i had some loading information on the old 8 ga round ball loads but i do not...i ve just had to substute a given shot load and use a round ball instead...any of ya ll know of any old loading info on the old round ball loads i d like to hear about them... charlie

Ill bet that kicks like a mule. Are you useing bp.

not much of a kick at all...no i use smokeless powder for this load...i m useing 40 grains of bluedot powder...its a good load not bad on shoulder or the old gun... charlie
