Blood Trail, you gave me the inspiration .....
Ok, me as well I had to give the TriBalls another try today and out of my Tac-14.
I wanted to try them at 50 yards/meters ... but I had only loaded 5 ... and it took me a couple of shots to figure out the correct sight picture for that load and gun. They shoot higher than most other slugs I tried. I will have to try 50 yards next time ....
I loaded them with 22 grains of Blue Dot .... I did not want all the omppfffff for my little Tac-14. Recoil was surprisingly manageable with that load.
Load column:
1. Cheddite 3” hull
2.Powder: 22 grains of Blue Dot
3.Cut wad open down to the base (Orange Precision Reloading Wad)
4.Split a 20ga .125 Nitro Card in half
5.Place half of a 20ga overshot card into wad
6.Insert Wad into hull
7.3x .600 hard round balls
8.buffer (vibrate into the balls)
9..125 Nitro Card as overshot card
10.Roll crimp
And here is the result out of my Tac-14 with Cylinder bore at 30 yards ... around a 3 inch group. (The circle is a 9 inch pie plate)
I was able to recover all the wads ...
And here is the gun .... Cylinder bore .... 12ga ...
Now I need to cast more .600 round balls .....
