10 ga buckshot

[charlie cleveland]

i loaded up some short 10 ga buckshot loads...used 000 buck 8 pellets to theshell...equal out to 1 1/2 ounce....shot this load at 50 long steps at 30 inch circle...used a 10 ga lc smith with full choke barrels it will put all 8 pellets in the circle most of the time...ive fired the gun 5 times and it patterned the same all 5 times...one of the shells only put 7 pellets in circle but i must say all patterns were very good...all of pellets were usally with in a 16 to 20 inch area....i must change that 5 times fierd to 8 times fired....cant wait till i can try it in the field....by the way old lc smith is a damascus barreled gun.... charlie
