I had bought nitro cards and fiber wads and overshot cards and I only need the over shot cards. I thought well I bought all this stuff I might as well try it. The pattern was twice as big and might kill a quail at 25 yards but not a squirrel. The powder, cornmeal and shot and only a thin card over the shot is a very simple to load and very effective. Im set. Weatherman says down to the 50s wed morning and I know a couple of hickory trees the squirrels are starting to cut. Barrel cleaned up nice and easy and was easy to load..............Curdog
