I never accused you of anything sir.
As far as I am aware the scriptures do not imply animals go to heaven but if they did I doubt a photograph would prevent any accusations if leveled.
Sir.

However there may be some confusion.
My medium grade (Krank's) resembles goex 3f and Krank's fine grade resembles goex 4f.
It is Krank's course grade that resembles 2f&1f and is as strong as a phart in a paper bag!
I used goex 3f years ago and still consider it my benchmark.
Feltwad, if you are using Krank's medium grade I think that you would be closer to using a 3f grade than 2f!
I have not used Kranks powder for many years it is far too expensive for the amount that I use per years so I obtain it from another source. Most powders here are of German or Yugoslavia manufacture another popular one is Swiss powder which once again is far to expensive . The old English powder such has Curtiss & Harvey was the best for shotguns and TPPH for rifles which was or still used by the Proof Houses.

I cant recall quite what I loaded but I didn't use cards above or below the main felt or Eley Kleena wad just a beer mat top wad & 2&3/4 powder to 1 ounze of shot more or less not to say the cards are not OK , and currently using Curtis & Harveys number 4 which is old old stuff I lucked onto. Bowls rabbits well enough . I do have a12 bore rifle but not used it to say what it works like . My Pin fire 12 bore takes the same as the MLs & seems to work . Rudyard
Who's powder do you use then Feltwad?I have not used Kranks powder for many years it is far too expensive for the amount that I use per years so I obtain it from another source.

Because of the amount of powder I use I buy bulk which the law allows from the importer the name is Vesuvite powder

Thanks, will take a peek....
Looks interesting Feltwad. From Czech Republic.
They list some 4f loadings too.
Any chance of information of the importer from you?
Thanks.

It always is a good idea to read the pamphlet (or little book as he called it) by V. M. Starr on the subject of loads for muzzleloading shotguns. It's easy to find on the internet.
Mr. Starr really knew what he was about, G-W. Wolves!
Yes he did. Taught me to stop buying conventional wads many years ago.
Not heard anything from Feltwad and his pow
Oh.... don't look like I'm getting any help to find the importer then. Hmmm....
Most likely you are already using this powder most retailers sell it under a different name

That's not really very helpful but it's ok, don't bother, I get the message.
Going to try the 3f Brit. Any excuse to prolong my shooting time will do. Besides, the Turkey season approaches, I made a new call, and a new 16 Gauge fowler, so a new load it is!

Good stuff. Let us know how good it is.
Britsmoothy, I believe you sir. I am also going to try 3Fg in my 20's this weekend. I will be trying Goex OE 60-75 Grains. With the pressure increase usually velocity increases as well. Hope them bunnies tasted good! Have a great weekend.
I have an older CVA 12 gauge side by side percussion. I have good luck with 70gr FF or FFF. I use about 1.25 oz of 7-1/2 or 8 shot. We shoot the clays, and I have good days and not so good, but I am usually the cause of the not so good. I use a over powder wad, cushion wad and an over the shot card wad. These are all 13 gauge wads as they work good and push down easy. I use moose milk on the cushion wad. When I got stared I used the reference section in the back of the Dixie catalog for basic info. I recommend having one if nothing else, just for the info in the back of the catalog.
