    What’s Your Favorite Long Gun that You own.

    without doubt or any hesitation its Samson my Don Bruton 62 cal iron mounted Boone pattern rifle built yrs ago. Hits where im looking and very very hard. He has made meat many times for me an has gotten rid of quite a few coyotes as well.

    Roundball accuracy after jug choking?

    2 of the barrels was new and 2 already was in a finished gun with the tenons attached. I have no idea if he removed the tenons or not but when I got the barrels back they didnt look as if they had been removed

    Roundball accuracy after jug choking?

    I dont know the measurements of the amount he puts in it and I have no way of measuring it but I told him that I like shooting larger shot sizes. That must have some bearing on how much he puts into it but im just guessing this. He asked what shot size I shoot most often and the type game I hunt...

    Roundball accuracy after jug choking?

    All my smoothbores are jug choked. I wont have one without a jug choke. They simply shoot pretty round patterns an a jug choke will not affect accuracy of round ball. Below is my turkey gun with patched ball. 12 ga with 32 inch colerain oct to round an jug choked by Danny Caywood The shot is a...

    Thoughts on smooth bore rifle.

    Keep your ranges 50 maybe 60 tops an put a back sight on it an if I were you I would get it jug choked full. If you jug choke it you can have a 35 or so turkey gun with shot an it will also reach up into the tallest hickory tree to knock a tree rat out plus you have a excellent medium range deer...

    Expected accuracy with 62 caliber smoothbore?

    I cant speak for a 20 but I have a couple 12 ga. Once you find what yours likes to digest 50 an 60 yds should be no problem. Fg powder seems to help my shot and ball loads. My turkey gun has a back sight which helps or at least helps me.

    Do you prefer 3F or 4F for priming ?

    FFFFg in my pans. ANY powder in the pan turns to soup in Ala if you dont wipe the pan after the first shot. Its just second nature to me. Hunting season included. Ive done it so much it only takes a second to wipe out the pan

    Smootbore round ball loads

    I get my best groups with ball or best patterns with shot by using Fg powder in my 12 ga smooth rifles. The ball load is 100 gr of Fg pushing a beargreased thick pillowtick patched 690 self cast ball. I get fist sized groups to about 60 yds which is farther than 99% of my shots in the thickets...
