I am taking a friend to the range monday mid morning to let him get his ML figured out !

While I'm dealing with him I am planning to take my other Sterlingworth 12 , the 2 LC's as well as the 2 V grades and possibly the 20 gauge Sterlingworth to check them all at 25 yards with buckshot .

If the Shilen barrel for my 6.5-06 shows up tommorrow I expect I'll be tied up with that rifle over the next two weeks in prep for the Virginia gun season !
So anything else will be on the back burner for awhile .

Charlie I think I need to find some more #1 Buck my supply of that diminished quite a bit after starting to mess with the 16 gaugers !

Let us know when you get a deer with the 8 gauge.

Got number 17 at 16:05 today !

Shot him with my Savage 10ML-II 50 cal muzzle loader at about 67 yards !

I hunted relatively hard for the last week . Only saw 6 deer the entire time .

I'll hunt everyday next week with the ML except saturday which is the beginning of gun season here .

Got number 18 today !

Popped the cherry on my Remington 700 BDL 6.5-06 this afternoon !

Had a 3 point whitetail come up to about 36 yards of me and of course the 6.5-06 shooting the Berger 130 VLD Hunting bullet pushed with 53 grains of RL-22 did a fine job . The deer ran maybe 25 yards after the shot and when I opened him up the heart for lack of a better word was EXPLODED !

I use the #1 exclusively in the 16's and it works very nicely in the old LC Smith I started this thread about !

I have taken to stocking buckshot in 000 , 00 , 0 , 1 and 3 on my shelf . could probably do away with the 00 but I have over 10 pounds of it so I'll keep using it atleast until I use all that .

I had thoughts a couple months ago of getting molds and casting my own buckshot . But thats an awful lot of work .

[charlie cleveland]

your right about it being a lot of work..i wish my shelf was as well stocked as yours...i see that a lot of the old 10 ga buckshot loads were in the no 1 buck loads... charlie
