HEVI-SHOT THROUGH TWIST & DAMASCUS BARRELS
I'm not satisfied with the tungsten composite shot on geese. It only cripples. I'm using American E and today I shot and hit four birds and only got one that was crippled and flew down finally, and another that fell 300 yards away. These were close shots, about 30 yards. Second bad experience with this stuff. Have not killed one dead with it yet.
I know Charlie would not hesitate to do this, but I'm thinking of loading some Hevi-shot in a 10 gauge SP10 wad for geese. If there is no contact with the bore, as the whole charge (1.5 ounce) of 4s is contained inside the wad, I don't see how it can hurt stout 10 gauge Parker barrels (Twist and Damascus). Pressure is about 7700 psi and 1150 fps for lead and I understand Hevi-shot may increase pressure a little.
Thoughts?
