I use my same old charge of SR7625 30 grains and whatever shot I use is inside a Remington SP-10 wad with NO buffer whatsoever . Lets see I load 8 of the 000 , 12 of the 00 , 16 of #1 , 28 of #3 and 32 of #4 .

I gotta say I've never owned a gun that seemed to be at ease with so many different sizes of buckshot . Grnated I never was much of a buckshot person . And truely I'm still not but I truely enjoy killing deer with these old guns . And quite possibly some other game animals (well atleast with grandads old W&C 10 gauge) .

I would still like to do the round ball thing inside the SP-10 wad in this LC since it's modified in both barrels . My old W&C is way way way to tight to even think I could get a ball that was safe to shoot near decent at 25 yards .Not as sure about the NID but if I get a mold for the LC I'll most likely give it a try in the NID as well !

Might just load up 40-50 loads of 1 1/4 ounce of #8's for the dove opener monday !

Either load a bunch of those or some for my Browning 20 gauge Superpose .
