Bill, that isn’t a sissy load as I found out last evening. I was using that same load with #8 shot (ones I have pictured) I sent a big old groundhog into the promised land from about 20 to 25 paces away. That hog reacted as if hit by a 45-70. I was very impressed to say the least. Those old 30” full and full choke barrels hold a tight reach out there and get’m pattern.
