RE: Can my flint rifle be a scatter gun?
livbucks....you cannot legally use a single projectile to spring gobbler hunt in PA.
the others gave advice....with shot you will not be shooting a limited amount of times...like all shotguns you gotta pattern it..and like was said...a 50cal is simply a REALLY small gauge for a shotgun. i too want to take a PA gobbler with a flinter...but will not do it with my rifled 50cal.
im waiting till i have the cash to order a custom 75cal smoothbore MADE for the job.
