RE: Anyone shooting Black Powder shotguns?
 

What distance were you shooting and did it group well? What shot size were you using? The smoke is amazing with this gun when it goes boom on a non-windy day. You are really hooked now, this is the best blackpowder shotgun you can get as far as i'm concerned. Good luck on the next bird thatwalks by.

I have a doublebarrel shotgun that I built from a kit from Dixie Gun works several years ago. I bought it to use for spring turkey hunting. It's a 10 gage with out chokes although one barrel is improved. I tried alot of different loads to make it shoot the way I want for turkeys. Needless to say it took awhile. I use loose blackpowder with a heavy card over the powder without a cushion wad and 2 oz shot. Recoil is entence it kicks harder than my 45/70 Sharps Rifle but it's still fun to shoot. I never got into the new inline shotguns, just doesn't make any sense to me trying to make a blackpowder gun modern. Later SSettle

I would love to get a bouble barrel but man the price on these things is in the neighbor of 600 dollars at Cabelas. A 10 guage is impressive and I've heard of guys using it for geese which would be awesome.

The cost is way to much anymore I paid $395 for my kit about 10 years ago. The newer ones now come with screw-in chokes mine didn't. I'm building a 20 gauge flint smooth bore that I plan on turkey hunting with maybe in the fall if I get her done. I'd like to shoot one of the new inline types just to see what it wouldbe likebut I don't know anyone around here that has one. Can't see myself buying one, I don't have the room for another gun. Maybe I can talk my son into it..Later SSettle

I got pretty lucky with the Pedersoli double I got at Cabela's last year. The price was mismarked at $589. It was still a lot but a lot cheaper than what they want now. This gun is a ton of fun and I think I'll own it for a long time.
