Default RE: a little help..

holy moly....so if id go through with it...and im definently thinking about it HARD...and order the .75 cal...it should shoot .74dia balls...which weigh around 610grs!!! thats 11.5ths of a pound...which is roughly an ounce and a half! ....now the question is....can i found .74dia round balls to fire from this sucker??? and im sure ill have to learn to cut wads and patches huh?? how much powder do you think the max load would be? have any idea?? will i have to shoot Fg powder since the caliber is so large?? i have no idea about this big bore stuff.....kinda neat.....im guessing that 150grs of powder will be probably about the right load? so i should beable to fire about an ounce and a half of BBs give or take...i read that most of the better smooth bore patterns use the same powder measure as shot measure...for turkeys ill definently use a hot heavy load...man this will be fun...and ALOT to tinker with...small game loads...turkey loads...deer loads...clay shooting..small game hunting...turkey hunting...deer hunting if im accurate enough....man why didnt i think of this a long time ago!?!?
