Here are a couple of the targets I've fired. The target on the left was fired with my bare ball load and on the right is the prb target. Bare ball group 2-3/4" and the prb group 1-3/4". These are three shot groups at 50 yards. IMHO three shot groups at 50 (+or -) tells one that the load is great for deer. But a good bare ball still comes pretty close to equaling the prb load. As long as you can put 3 balls at 50 yards in a 5" to 6" circle you can also kill a deer cleanly.
My .20 ga has a rear sight and I shoot it just like I shoot a rifle. I've found - in my gun at least - that a 3F powder charge from 60 grains up to 75 grns shoots about the same. I load a .600" ball and a .012" to .015" cotton patch lubed with ToTW mink oil. The prb load is slightly snug but not tight like a rifle load.
This deer was killed at 20 yards with a prb and 75 grains of 3F. It was also a running shot.
Who built that weapon sir nicely done
