LC Smith 10 gauge - Page 7

6pt-Sika · 08-12-2013, 10:36 PM

I have a 25 pound bag of Remington 000 Buck my old deceased shooting buddy gave me about two years ago . Someone had given it to him to make birdshot out of and he thought that would be a waste and gave it to me . I am thinking 8 of those inside the Remington SP-10 wad might be alright !
Two per layer of four layers .

the triple 000 works good but i think it will only stack 3 to the layer.. as i was disking today i seen several deer beds they will have to sleep some where else tonight... i ve got to clean my trails out too i wanted to put up a coupla moreshooting houses but i m running out time and energy...i had a lot of things i was going to do this summer but summers about gone and a few of them things aint gonna get done... charlie

Well I didn't get the forend back yesterday so the LC stayed home !

I did however shoot my relatively new to me Philly Sterlingworth 12 gauge with some older Remington 2 3/4" slug loads at 25 and 50 yards !

First shot from the right barrel at 25 yards drilled the silver dollar sized bullseye then the left barrel hit about 4 inches to the right of the first shot . Tried them at 50 yards after that and failed to hit the 9x11 inch piece of paper with either barrel .

So much for the slug idea in that old Sterlingworth !

i dont have a gun that will shoot a slug very good either.. my old 8 ga parker is not very accurate with a round ball load i do pretty good to 30ds but any farther its a gamble.. i ve got to get my work caught up and do a little target practice with the ole 8 i sure would like to take a deer with the pumpkin ball load.. i hope my old smith longe range shoots buckshot ok i will try it soon... charlie

Got the forend back today !

My friend that does stockwork did an excellent job to my eye !

I though the new firing pin had been heat treated but that'll get done tommorrow . My gunsmith buddy said he'll do the firing pin while he's blueing tommorrow !

Perhaps I can get out early thursday morning and try the buckshot loads . Might load some 000 wednesday just in case !

Loaded some 000 today .

Using my same old load of SR7625 with the SP-10 wad I'm able to put two 000 per layer and get 4 layers nested .

Hopefully this will look good at 25 yards . To be honest I don't think I've ever fired 000 Buck in anything before !

Just got back from the range !

Tried a 000 and #4 Buck at 25 yards !

Well as it looks #4 , #3 , #1 , 00 and 000 Buck all shoot well enough in this gun for what I'll do with it on deer !

Now all I need is to draw an area for Chincoteague NWR !

BTW , here's a picture of the forend tip after the fill in fix whatever you wanna call it !

charlie cleveland · 08-21-2013, 07:22 PM

it will pattern great at that distance...i ve patterned my old ten parker with this load to 40 yards it would do a deer in.. charlie

I put in for an area permit on the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge a day or so ago . If we get drawn I'll take one of the 10 gauges loaded with buckshot and a rifle or my Savage 220 rifled bolt action with Remington AccuBond Sabots !

Hope we get drawn I haven't hunted there in three years I think . Main objective is Sika deer but they've relaxed the regs on whitetails as well !
