first squirrel for NWTF 12 guage double barrel.

[silent sniper]

well here is the first squirrel for the navy arms NWTF 12 guage double barrel. the squirrel was around 20 yards away. my load was 60 grains FFF,4 os wads,one of my homemade shotcups,80 grains #6 shot,1 os wad. I perfected my shotcup design by gluing the bottoms shut,and cutting the shotcups length to hold 80 grains of shot perfectly before hand. I dont have to measure out the shot I simply fill up the shotcup. I lubed the outside of the shotcup with bore butter to cause less drag in the barrel. the squirrel dropped dead as a rock and had 30+ bbs in it. I am also into taxidermy and I am going to attempt to mount the squirrel. enjoy SS.
