This fine piece is an absolute marvel at 50 yds with patch and ball. Also able to dump birds, squirrels and small game if loaded with 2/3 #6 shot as it's a smooth bore. My open sights are lollipoped. Crazy accurate.Those older TC 56 smoothies shoot better than they are supposed to!
I had one back in the early 80's in Mass (before I escaped to Maine!) when a smoothie was needed for the BP season, and with careful load development (the details are long forgotten -- so don't ask!) I was getting an honest 2" group at 75 yards, which was plenty for the woods I was hunting.
