Hmmm, back when I had a .36, PRB and a maxiball were the only options I could find!

Shoot, 16 is a great gauge for anything! I'm surprised it's not more popular.

Hey now! Where ya at in VA? I'm just outside of Montross.

Howdy from Richmond County, just a hop skip and a jump to the north of ya!

Time to get back to it!

I cant imagine any harm would come to the wood, just don't leave it in a garage or something. Just stick it behind your bedroom door or some other conditioned space.

Yeah, I'm trying to shoot the deer that the dogs are running off of my property...

So skipping any sort of nitro card or wad and just relying on corn meal, correct?

Wheel weight, but if soft lead is recommended, I can do that too.

I t Hi k you may have replied to a previous thread I posted asking that question, believe it came back around .28" which if pretty close to #4 buck. I just don't want to pay $35 for 5 pounds of the stuff. I've heard that the lee mold for that size is a true pain in the but to deal with.

I have one of those rifles too (actually getting rebored right now due to previous owners carelessness) the ramrod pipes are way too big and I think they are for 3/8 ramrods which obviously won't work in a .36. To get around this I just took a small strip of leather and ran it through the first...

Correct. I'm sure there is a reason that 00 is not available (that I have seen) in modern shotshells. I figure it was either overpressure concerns or duch deformity that it couldn't hold a group.

Problem is I have never seen a 20ga shotshells with 00, only #3 or #4 buck. I tend to agree with you on the usage of buckshot but where I am in VA, there are a lot of guys that run dogs for deer and while I don't approve of the method, if they are gonna be running the deer and dogs around and on...

Anyone shoot 00 buckshot out of a .62 (20ga) smoothbore? I know it won't fit nice and neat like a 12ga and because of that, I don't want to hurt anything when all of those pellets get mashed together or "bridge" the bore. Only reason I ask is I have copious amounts of 00 as I cast it for...

Wish I was in the neighborhood! Sounds like a great time.

I'd say a substitute with that weight difference. Stick it in the pan of a flintlock and see how many trigger pulls it takes to go off!

Don't sell yourself short! I see a leaf hit, that makes for 65!

Well I sure ain't no target shooter but I'm not complaining. I'm Bill T and KD is a friend of mine who wanted a crack at it. (Both shot offhand)

Hopefully the weather broke for y'all and you got some cooler temps.

For anyone using a wad punch that has not sharpened it, I would recommend putting it in a drill, drill press is best, and using files and stones or fine sandpaper to get it sharp as possible. I have seen people get these punches razor sharp to the point that a hammer isnt even needed to cut...
