Loaded up two more with 0000 buck buffered , also loaded four with eight 00000 buckshot buffered as well . Then I loaded eight with the .775” 730 grain slug which needed one 12 gauge nitro card to have the correct height . All are using 31 grains of Clays and a CCI209M .

Whitetail sadly I’ve not been on the Eastern Shore of Maryland to hunt Sika in three or four years . Since I’ve put my pop in an adult care facility now I could try and do Blackwater NWR this season , but based on current events I think I’ll just hunt around here besides damage control three months and then three months of archery , ml and gun here I should get my fill .

Okay shot the four slugs and the pair of 0 buck . I’m going to need to go to the range and shoot something larger than my cardboard boxes for the slugs might also need a wrap or two of masking tape to snug them a bit . But I’m pleased that the snap .... boom ceased . The 0 buck shot nicely at 30 yards so Tuesday I’ll carry the 8 gauge and sit a different spot until dark or until I plunk one .

In was a 10 gauge ML I’ve since purchased the mold from him . Oh yeah he had it cut for an LC Smith 10 gauge that the barrels had been cut . That slug fits very well inside the SP-8 wad and is a good height with a single 12 gauge nitro card underneath .

Well I shot the 00000 at 30 yards and it was okay . Shot the 0000 and 00000 at forty yards and it wasn’t as okay . The slugs were not so okay , when they went off correctly they did okay at thirty and forty yards . However I had about 50% hang fires . I’m going to load some more slugs with Universal Clays and International Clays . Also wanna load some 000 , 00 and 0 buckshot to see if it does any better at forty yards . I may try the other two powders with the buckshot as well . Incidentally while I was searching my shelves for the open 8 pounder of Universal Clays I found I already had a four pounder of Clays , if I’d known that I’d have saved the forty bucks the two cans of Clays cost me last week LOL’s.
