Patterning Pedersoli SxS 12 Ga.

[Klondyke]

I have been working on a load that works with my pedersoli SxS 12. I loaded 1 1/8 number 6 lead 60 Grains but had donut in middle. Today I made some paper patch 1 3/4 oz shot, pushing it with 70,75,80 2f black powder. all shots were at 35 yards. 2 inch red dot. 14 inch circle. the barrels are extra full and 2 extra full , which makes them hard to load. Do you think this is a good enough pattern?

Looks good to me .But the real question is how you feel about it

 

[2 shots]

are those one shot each??

 

[Klondyke]

Yes one shot each. No 6 shot. 1 3/4 oz. varied powder

I feel better about this load than any other loads I have shot in this gun. I recon the squirrels better look out.

Some of the patterns hit a bit low but otherwise look fine to me. Go hunt and kill dinner! I know I would.

edit- I would recommend sticking with 80grs though.

Patterns look fine. Never seen a Pedersoli fixed choke that was tighter than cyl/mod. Did you custom order your gun?

 

[Klondyke]

Yes it is custom. I did not order it but bought it knowing about the chokes. First trigger is tighter choke than second trigger. Its a little hard to work out the loading but a very nice weapon. The shot wrapped in paper cartridge fashon really tightened up the pattern and makes for easy loading.

TH, mine is Mod/Full. Shoots great with just three OS cards for wadding. Though to load with anything else.
