12 ga 32 inch colerain oct to round barrel thats been jug choked Xfull by Danny Caywood. 1st target is 15 yds an the big holes is 700 ball. I favor shooting big shot at longbeards so my shot is a equal mix of 2 an 4. Im also a big fan of Fg in big bore smoothbores. The 2nd target is 30 yds. After finally finding the right load combo this gun has taken a bunch of longbeards. The load is 100 gn of Fg then a felt 1/4 in wad lubed with bear grease on top of the powder. Then a hard 1/4 inch cardboard on top of that. Then a 110 grn of shot an 2 thin overshot cards on the shot. No 2 barrels are the same an your mileage may very gun to gun

My Kibler 24 ga has a nice pattern I developed. Got a solid round ball load from @Ballshooter too. Jug choked, 80 gr FFF, lubed wad, 1.75 oz #5, followed by another lubed wad. Deadly on gobblers. The shot pattern was at 25 yards. PRB pattern was 50 yards

Like chicken /Ha , had a Uncle that came from Louisiana and was amazed at all the robins in NJ . And then said that's one of his favorite meals , was illegal then and now but that didn't bother him or his buddies but he was a hillbilly (now passed on) to where anything goes . I didn't mention where exactly thou /Ed
