slug gun....

[charlie cleveland]

i tested my 10 ga p grade 32 inch stub twist gun out this past weekend useing gauge mates and useing 12 gauge winshester 2 3/4 inch 1 ounce slugs in it...the target was a 16x12 inch paper target..distance was 42 long steps.....i fired the left barrel first i hit the target 3 times with 3 shots the grouping was very good at 8 inches....the right barrel was fired twice at the same target GOD only knows were them two shots went....gona have to use buckshot in the right barrel....going to try to take a big fat doe if that big buck dont show up first with this set up....got to get me a round ball mould some day for the old 10 ga... that fellow over in england made me the 8 ga mould but i have lost his name and number seems like it was dave something....any body got a clue to who i am talking about...the 12 ga slug shoots very good in this old 10 ga....charlie

How long are the Gauge Mates and how much smaller is the slug than the bore it rides in?

bill the gauge mates are about 3 inches in length....i have never measured the slug in the bore bill..i have took a slug apart and put it in the breach end and slid it down the bore the wad petels are a lose fit...i have shot several 12 ga slugs thru this same gun several times...both barrels on this gun are full choke but for some reason the left barrel shoots the slugs pretty decent and the right barrel you cannot hit a bull in the rear end with a base fiddle.....i am certain i could hit a deer at 50 yards with it in the vital area....if i could come up with some type of sight other than that bead i might get another 10 yards or so out of the ole ten...charlie
