This fall I have been trying to get a shot load worked up for my .50 cal GRRW CA NW Trade Gun. After several trips to the range, I was finally able to get a shot load worked up that I was happy with. I wanted to take the gun out for the grouse season opener but was not confident with the patterns I was getting. I have tried various powder charges of 2F & 3F, nitro cards, wads, leather, etc.
I finally ended up with 40 grs of Goex 3F, 3 overshot cards, 3/4 oz #6 shot, overshot card. This target was shot at 20 yds.
Feel free to critique my pattern and provide any additional load suggestions you may have for a small caliber smoothbore.
