Just rec’ed a Pedersoli coach 12 gage yesterday and got the pre-load jitters. I have watched many videos and come to conclusion there ain’t no standard method of load. I have Circle Fly Wads and the recommended method of load is 1. powder/ 2. over powder card(1/8” nitro card)/3. fiber wad/ 4.shot/ 5. Over shot wad (thin white card) My concern using this method is the overshot card (white) sufficient to hold adjacent barrel shot in place during recoil?
The white card does not appear to me the best device to keep shot from being dislodged in opposite barrel. My salt water infested brain is telling me to cut the thick fiber wad in half and go with a load of powder/ over powder card/ ½ of fiber wad/ shot/ ½ half of fiber wad/ white overshot card.
Anyway rather than take someone’s time writing out a procedure I would appreciate a call if someone is willing to PM me for my phone number.
NOTE: About the gun. I was quite amazed at the quality and appearance of this coach gun. This is not my first gun (that was 4 safes ago) but I feel it rates a comment for appearance. Jury still out on functionality as have not shot yet. Thanks in advance. Jerry
