3F Shotgun Load

[Britsmoothy]

Hi Brit, just curious if the .63 is in fact a Pedersoli 20 ga as all three of mine run that size ( .63 )
Yes, all I shoot now in my .63 Pedersoli SXS's is OE 3Fg. 70 gr's to 75 gr's does wonders!

Yes sir. It's all but a 20g.

Less powder more lead shoots far kills dead has been a mantra for me for years. The other day Blackpowder TV posted a video on you tube shooting a 20 bore Carolina gun. He was shooting at a Turkey target a Turkey load. Staring with airy grains 2 f he worked up to a hundred, one and a quarter oz loads. To my surprise the most shot put in kill zone was by the largest powder charge
Should I change my mantra? I think it might be fun to try

I generally stick to the " mantra" when using fine blavkpowder but when using course powders I find I have to use more powder. Shooting at an old gate post one day and having pellets bounce back at me made me realise why I wasn't killing critters with course powder!

All good things must come to an end. The upland game bird season is ending, and I finished by bagging some birds with the Nock. The things made by man outlast their maker by several generations, and I enjoyed a very good hunting season using a variety of fowlers. I'm looking forward to the return of warm weather, and when summer reluctantly ends, I'll take to the field with the old guns again.
