    Patterning navy double 12 gauge

    Thak you for the suggestion. Next time i go out I'll try that. Got windy as a storm was rolling in. So after the shotgun range i headed to the pistol/75 yard range. To try round ball in my shotgun. At 25 yards definitely need to practice. I have a tc flintlock i may bore out to smooth bore.
