Buckshot Alah 8 gauge

[Chris Robenalt]

I knew it, I never forget a gun Craig, especially one like that. I think Phil had 2 ounce loads of 7 1/2 that we were shooting dove with. It's not a gun you just throw up and shoot, that's for sure. No recoil at all. It's was a first for me, Dale and the late Dr. Spratling. I'll never forget that day. It's good knowing it remains in the PGCA family and has a good home!

I was shooting 1 1/2 ounce loads at first at sporting clays then I switched to 1 3/4 ounce loads . I do have a box of 2 ounce loads sitting in my 8 gauge stash at the moment I loaded with 7 1/2’s . Also loaded a couple boxes of 1 3/4 ounce 6’s to be used at a Pheasent tower shoot last season . Killed a couple roosters on the first peg and then I used a 12 gauge for most of the other shots . So at present I have a box of 1 3/4 6’s and two boxes with 4’s . Hopefully this season both my cannons can bowl a deer or two over . Be kinda neat to get one with buck one with punkin ball and one with a slug .

I took both those 8 gauge guns to an informal private 5-Stand deal in Fredricksburg VA back a month or so ago as a friend had asked if I’d bring them along . And I had two hundred or so shells . Turns out my friend has an 8 gauge single hammer Jones underlever he’d never fired . So he shot his and seven or eight of the other eleven fellows there all fired an 8 for the first time . Was kinda neat watching folks that thought the guns would pound the heck out of them smile after the fact .

Loaded some of the .785” balls some of the .795” balls and some of the 000000/.415” as well . Both were shot at 30 yards with about a grain more of Universal Clays than I used in the previous loads . First was from the right barrel with 000000 the second was from the left barrel with two shots of the .795” balls . Also used the Italian Gulianni wads with the buckshot loads today .
