Duplex loads

[Austin J Hawthorne Jr.]

I've loaded (5) shells with 5/8 oz. of 6's under 1/2 oz. of 4's, and will pattern test them this week. I will also try the same loading, but will use a steel shot wad with buffering to see if it would tighten the group. I'll post the results after testing.

If shooting a double gun, load the right more open barrel with 6s for close shots, and load 3/4 ounce of tungsten #9s in the left full barrel. Work up a load. Bound to kill out to 60 yards. There will be so short of a shot column in the left barrel that nothing can rub metal. You will be amazed at the number of pellets in this load, 272. Will probably go clean through the squirrel.

[Larry the Gun Guy]

Winchester is making a "Magnum" dove load (a true oxymoron) with 1-1/4 ounce of mixed shot at a blistering 1400 fps. I don't think I'll be shooting anything like this in my vintage guns. But, if you want it, it's out there.
