Hi folks, it’s been a while since I posted. Life has been crazy. Six kids and years of building my own house on a rural acreage has taken all my time.
I’ve been casting and loading low recoil 1oz Lee slugs for years and I’m looking to start casting and loading buckshot now too.
I want to stick with the components I’ve got for simplicity. I’ve been using gun club hulls with Fed 12S4 wads with nitro cards for the slugs.
I’d like to create a training load that patterns tight like flite control 00. Within reason of course.
My question is what size round ball should pattern best in these wads and hulls? I’m looking for simplicity given how busy my life is so no buffered loads or anything like that. I don’t mind if the shot size is larger or smaller than 00, the pattern is the goal not the buckshot size.
Any thoughts or guidance on how to get nice patterns out to say 20-30 yards?
Thanks
