Buckshot Alah 8 gauge

[Milton C Starr]

Has anyone tried a tri ball load in the 8 gauge ? , I remember seeing a 12 ga tri ball load on another forum that patterned pretty good out to 40 iirc . I think it was 3 .600" balls and usually patterned them in like a small triangle .

I have been thinking of eventually trying to make a 10 ga 2 7/8 #4 buck load , would be interesting to used a old sxs on coyotes .

Craig, I've been studying the grain of the stock on that 8 ga. Years back, my friend/PGCA member brought this 8 ga down for all of us to shoot during one of our dove hunts. Both guns have identical fiddleback stocks. I know he sold his. Any chance of them being the same gun? It's a beautiful gun and quite the experience to shoot!

If you mean Mr. Phil that’s who I got the hammer gun from I’ve had possession of the brute a little over a year and I’ve had it at three or four places where most of the folks have never seen much less shot an 8 gauge and almost all had big eyes when I handed the gun to them . To be perfectly honest I’m finding I can shoot the slightly more open PH than I can the longer barreled hammer gun . The last targets were shot with the PH .

Picture of the hammer gun and the ever so slightly lighter PH . With that being said both are over 12 pounds .
