I set the blind up last night and got back there this morning.
I had with me my not Berretta percussion gun tricentenary thingy model and a 410.
The muzzleloader shot first until the powder ran out. I had about 30 shots with that for about 20 birds.
The 410 shot a similar amount of cartridges for another 20.

Jess had a good time stopping them that could run from running.

Now I must say that this very small fine powder I'm using is like 4f and its fantastic. The power it was giving to the 1oz of 7narfs was staggering!
It killed most birds dead in the air and the patterns must of been very good otherwise I'd of had cripples everywhere. And there was some long going away shots! I highly recommend it.
 
When you clean your Beretta, do you remove the barrel bands and clean it disassembled ?
As its so easy yes, I usually put the barrels in a small bucket. Pour boiled water in via the barrels. Pump with a rodded jag holding barrels with a towel. Drain, add fresh hot water. Drain, rod with a dry patch and allow to dry. When still warm I rod the barrels with a homemade greased patch and coat outside with the same.

Thanks. I've been reluctant to do so to avoid scratching the wood. Gotta say, all of the accessories that came with the gun are still in use (except the powder flask - never used it yet). Scared to get the gun buggered up, really. Happy hunting to you.
