Tried my new one out yesterday. Shot good with 80 gr of Goex 2f 4 thin overshot cards, and index card paper shot cup, 1 3/8 oz of #5 lead shot, and an overshot card. Also did real well with rd balls. They are a lot of fun aren't they? :grin:

fun is right! haven't tried round ball yet but will. right now all my round ball fixins is for a .54. did notice on my smoothbore I had to have quite a bit of the barrel showing in the sight picture to get the shot up on the target but once I got that right had 11 pellets in the kill area on a turkey target at 25yds. that was 4 pellets in the brain and 7 in the spine and to me that spells dead bird

Sounds good. You know, you can shoot .530 rd balls out of that smoothie with a thick patch. I tried them in my old one and they worked ok. What i am shooting in my new one will be .575's with a denim patch. You can get a Lee .575 mould from Track or Midsouth for around $14 + S&H. A .595 works good in most .20 ga smoothies, but the only place i could find a mould that size is Jeff Tanner in England. But he will sell you one shipped to you for $35 but you will need a set of handles and they don't have a sprue cutter.

if you are looking to permanantly raise your sight pictiure, get a 1/4 inch leather lace on cheek pad from cabelas. it looks nice, qnjd then youcan trust your stock weld and not worry anout the the barrel at all. get your stock weld, cover with bead, let 'er rip. worked great on my 12 that shot low.

a lot of people complain that the lace ons slip forward on the stock, and they will, but you can solve it easy by running a length of rawhide from the pad back around the buttstock. no more slip. looks nice, and you don't feel it.
