White Thunder
White Thunder. I've finally pulled it out and am attempting to develop a load and pattern this dang thing.
I bought it some time ago and when I got it I had to make a gun Smith trip.
The barrel lug use to secure the barrel to the stock was corroded. I definitely wanted that fixed.
And it appeared to be barrel dropped as the muzzle was definitely out of round.
Thus I couldnt get the choke tubes in.
But she is all fixed.
loaded with shockley ffg @100 gr and 1 1/2 oz #4 copper plated lead.
I do have a turkey pro scope mounted and did attempt to bore sight.
I need to develop my Turkey zero.
After this first shot I may drop the powder charge down till I get close to my desired aim point and then powder up.
I also have #5 cp lead to try.
Now my initial loading, no way can I get my fiber wad past my choke so I needed to take that out.
So I ordered felt wads as with my research I found an old Grayes article to how he loaded.
All I need is a good 30 YD pattern.
I dont shoot birds much past that anyhow.
My 34 yr avg is 21 -22 of my pace from where I sat!
Closer to me is better!
