Black Powder Shotgunners
Need a little help. I have a CVA Trapper 12ga. single shot percussion. I've owned and shot it now for seven years. I use this gun for turkey hunting. Have harvested birds with this gun,but the birds have to be almost on top of me. I have tried many wad and shot combos. My max range is 23 yards. I'm not so much concerned about extending range as I am in getting a tighter pattern. My best with this gun is a max load of powder and #6 shot topped with felt wads. I'm averaging 8 to 10 pellets to the head and neck area at 23 yards. Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated. Thanks!
