Y’all some of you know, my passion is casting buckshot and slugs. Been working on a load for deer and hog hunting in heavy brush and I think I’m there.
First load is two .60 cal lead balls (around 330gr a ball) loaded in a steel shot wad in a 3” hull. The avg velocity was around 1180fps.
At 50 yards through a mod choke yielded a pattern of 2-3”:

Here’s the pressure testing results:
Next up is three .60 cal balls. 50 yard patterning testing is around 7-8”. I’m sure I can shrink that down, but I’m happy with that. Velocity was a hair under 1000 fps that’s plenty to kill anything in North America with 50 yards:
This should good for hunting thick brush. If anyone’s interested in duplicating this load, let me know.
Happy hunting!
