how to load buckshot

 

[Stumpkiller]

Blackpowder, then a 1/8" over-powder card, then a 1/2" fiber wad, then the buckshot, then a 1/32" over shot card (put a pinhole in that one or nick the edge so it doesn't "pop" back when you remove the rammer).

Load depends on gauge. Use about the same VOLUME of shot and powder to start with. Less powder usually gives tighter groups.

Have fun and check your local game laws regarding buckshot.
