    New Shotgun

    I think the Pedersolis have choromed barrels to handle hard shot. I got mine from cabelas and their gun section answered all my questions about the gun at that time. Older percussion guns I think would have damascus barrels. I wouldnt want to shoot damascus barrels, especially if you want to...

    New Shotgun

    It is pretty hard to beat Pedersoli for SxS. I really like mine. I have had a 12 ga percussion for about 15 years. I do not know of any other American builders of doubles. I have one custom flint fowler and a White inline 12 (oops) that are American made

    Cabelas (Pedersoli) SxS Shotguns

    I have had a Pedersoli 12 ga dbl for quite a few years. It has interchangeable chokes. I have harvested one tom turkey and many ducks and a few pheasants with it. I should use it more as Ive always been happy with it.

    Results of DIY jug choking

    I did pretty much the same except started 2 inches back from the muzzle, tried to make a little longer and slower taper near the muzzle end with about 4 inches of expansion area and a more abrupt taper at the rear. I also marked the hone shaft and used the recommended honing oil from Colonial...

    Results of DIY jug choking

    Nice work! I have an 11 ga smoothie that I used a hone from Colonial Arms on. Dont have a micrometer, just did a little shooting between honing time. My patterns went from terrible at 25 yds to 90 pellets in a 13 inch circle. I use a heavier load in the 11 of 2 and 3/4 oz of #5 Bismuth over...

    jackie brown carolina smoothbore

    Mr. Brown has built 2 left hand flinters for me. a 58 rifle with a colerain barrel and an 11 ga smoothie with his barrel. I have taken game with both and like them. PLUS you cant beat his warranty. Ask him about it.

    I have two Jackie Brown built guns. Both are left hand. One is an 11 ga. smoothie which has harvested pheasants and the other is a 58 cal with a Colerain barrel which I will use this year for deer. While they are not Mike Brooks quality work, I am am very happy with them FOR THE MONEY I COULD...

    Describe what kind of a ML Shooter you are

    I shoot percussion, flinters and inline most all in hunting game and a little plinking and target shooting. I enjoy them all! :grin:

    How & When did you start in Muzzlelaoding, or Shooting Muzzloaders

    I also started in 1976 with a TC renegade. always hunted deer with single shot slug guns so decided to try a front stuffer. gradually went to shotgun and then flint smoothie and flint 56 but also enjoy shooting inline 50 and shotgun. Use mine for hunting.

    Paper Shot Cartridges

    Before you give up on the cartridge try using one shot card over the powder with a felt wad over that then the shot cartridge.

    buckshot and turkey

    My Pedersoli 12 ga. with 80 grains of bp, over powder card, 1 1/4 oz of # 5 bismuth in a paper cartridge, over shot card. Fired thru the full choke barrel, flattened a nice tom at 30 yards last spring. A little bit of work at the patterning board before hunting is a must! I would guess that...
