    The reason for my question: I would like to turkey hunt with my double barrel 12 ga. with no choke to speak of and wanting to have a tight pattern at 25 yards. I am just starting to determine the powder / shot combinations for this gun and looking and listening to all suggestions.

    Using a piece of panty hose around your lead shot!

    It was suggested to me in order to get a tighter pattern with my 12 ga. shotgun to load my shot into a piece of panty hose and tie the end with a piece of leather. Has anybody heard of this or have used this trick?

    Best way to season a bore?

    I must disagree with your statement on using warm water on a iron skillet, I know that people believe in just running a little warm and the heating the skillet up to dry it.

    How far do you carry a traditional hunt?

    I was in the past very active in the Indiana Bow Hunters Association, as in all of the Muzzle Loading groups there are groups that claim to be “traditional hunters”. But, they hunt from tree stands with scents, with all of the modern equipment, and they demand to have their own special seasons...
