Skychief in the underhammer

[harleysboss]

Have been wanting to test the skychief load in my custom 12ga underhammer shotgun. Got a break in the weather today so off to the range. My load consisted of 90 grn volume of blackmz and 1 1/2 oz copper plated #6 the load was followed as described by Skychief. Shooting was at 25 yards. I counted 104 hits inside a 10 inch circle. Am I getting close? I used the MZ powder just for giggles. I normally shoot Swiss.

Looks good but did you do a control shot loaded the other way around?

 

[Skychief]

Looking pretty good from here, Harleysboss.

 

[Skychief]

Good looking gun by the way.

Looks like you have greater pattern density to the right of the black rectangle. If you shift your circle over to encompass the greatest density, what is your percentage?

 

[harleysboss]

Not sure. I have the target still. I will have to adjust the circle and recount.

My gun shot low and left when I got it...

After a little tweaking, things are lined up now.
Mines not an under hammer however..
But I own a .36 Hopkins Allen under hammer .

Great looking gun you’ve got there, and a Turkey killer it appears! Congrats

She has one bird to her credit so far. That too was with the Skychief load.
