8 gauge patterns

[6pt-Sika]

Loaded a half dozen with #4’s , couple more with #6’s and four with Bismuth #1’s . Thought I had some Bismuth #2’s but evidently I don’t as I couldn’t find them . I will say using these several times fired hulls doesn’t produce as nice of a roll crimp as I’d like .

Those buckshot loads should be deadly.

I’ve actually already used the 000000 buck load in the PH 8 I used to own . The letter for the gun said to make it pattern buckshot close and the gun went to a lumber company in the pan handle of Florida . I assume it was for gators but I could be wrong . The DH 8 I shoot now is a fair bit tighter choke wise , it didn’t surprise me that the 0 buck patterned okay but it did surprise me a little with the 000000 as they’re .415” roundballs and I actually thought they’d have more of a donut affect .

Get a couple Dr Pepper cans the next time you do some patterning of the shells in memory of Charlie Cleveland.
