Pedersoli 10 gauge and Bismuth

[Conrad Alan]

Good afternoon. I have a pedersoli 10 gauge with screw in choke tubes. I am planning on taking it Sandhills crane hunting here in Tennessee. I am going to shoot Bismuth #B. I have goex 2F and Alliant black MZ for powder. What I am looking for is load recommendations. As in powder charge, shot weight and wad combinations for the different chokes. Thank you.

110gr and 1&1/2 oz of shot for starters.
A few thin cards for a wad and one or two on the shot. Simples.

Mr. Alan- I agree with Mr. Britsmoothy except that I suggest 1F black powder instead for better patterning from the 10 gauge with less recoil. Also look up the work of V. M. Starr for his thoughts on the muzzleloading shotgun and you will find a lot of expert knowledge. Good luck with the hunt! GWW
