Tried three of my side bys with buckshot today !
First was the little Philly Sterlingworth 20 gauge that used to belong to Robert Montgomery !
Tried that one with #3 buck 15 pellets , REM SP-20 wad , SR4756 from a MEC 24 bushing , CCI209 all in a Remington high brass hull .
The gun is pretty much M/F and both barrels did okay at 25 yards .
After that I tried the Ithaca Minier 12 gauge we just got . Was shooting a high brass Win hull with SR7625 , 12 pellets of 0 Buck , CCI209 and the REM SP-12 hull . The Minier is IC/F and amazingly it shot very nice patterns in both barrels at 25 yards . After that I tried my Philly Sterlingworth 12 gauge with the same loads this ones choked IC/M and it did pretty well as well at 25 yards . Also tried the Philly Fox with the same load except I had them loaded in Remington target hulls and they patterned pretty much the same !
Next trip I wanna bring the two V grade Parker 12's , the Utica Sterlingworth and perhaps both my LC Smith 12's .
I'm kinda thinking I'm not gonna bother with the Westley Richards or WW Greener with the buck . It'll take me awhile to kill a deer with each of those mentioned already .
