I have a Winchester 23 , 28" Mod and Full that someone opened up to Mod and Mod
It was made well before I was born so I will not even try steel shot in it
So I bought some Bismuth / Tin Alloy 88 / 12 % alloy from Rotometals
I made a mold to try and cast #5 Shot ( ended up a touch big ) on the lines of the Lee Buckshot molds
So this morning was opening day of Big Duck and Goose hunting season
4 of us hunted a pothole on the edge of the marsh next to the creek
2 of us hunted each end of the 25 yard wide and 200 yard long pothole to get mallards
And planned on pass shooting the wood ducks as they flew the creek
I got 3 Wood Ducks and a mallard with the cast shot
The other 3 guys got 8 Wood Ducks 3 mallards and a Black Duck
The hunt ended early when one of the other guys shot a Trumpter Swan ( Spelling ?? LOL)
The police were called by the hunters on the other side of the creek and we called the Game Warden
As we ALL told him there were NO White Geese around and the BIG White birds were Swans and not to be shot
So that mess up will cost him $2500 fine Lawyer fees and court cost as that is a Federal Courthouse trip
Oh well
The times I missed wasn't the fault of the gun or shot ....ME LOL
