Buckshot loads in a 28 gauge smoothboe

[Rob M.]

Great looking gun and pic !

I did. I just finished this blanket gun.
Tried 00 buck cause that’s all I had. It spread out quickly, but I still had fun experimenting! I had two hits out of five shot, twice in a row at like 20 ft. Not good. When I cast some #4 buck I will try that out too.View attachment 230662

Thanks Rob. I have seen your work, from you that means a lot. I am just a hobby builder tinkerer.

I have a full length 28 smooth rifle that I will be trying the #4 buck in. So far it’s performed well with .53 ball and #6 shot.

My range report on my 54 (28) smoothbore is in this forum too. I also had good luck with a .53 PRB, #6 and #2 shot. hoping to try for a turkey in the spring!

I've killed a deer out of an 1100 at 25 yards. Head , neck shot. She dropped immediately.
