[QUOTE="Smo, post: 5143320, member: 12078"] 👍 I have in my 16 gauge Tip Curtis smoothbore. My load is 70 grns ffg Goex , Nitro card, 110 grn by volume # 6 shot . Topped off with one thin overshot card and 1- 1/2” fiber wad soaked in olive oil. ( Skychief Loading sequence ) In my gun, I have found the saturated wad unnecessary at the rages I normally shoot. When not hunting with the gun I use my cleaning solution on the wads instead of olive oil. It helps keeping the fouling soft on woods walks. After the wads sit a few hours in the solution, they barely feel damp, but work just as well. It patterns well out too 25 yards, maybe 30 on squirrel. I Lucked out and shot 4 of 6 flying clays at a shoot a month or so back. Not bad for a flintlock. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/z5M9Y3Z/IMG-0419.jpg[/IMG] I’ve upped the powder since this target was shot too 70 grns ffg and bent the barrel so now it shoots where I’m looking! Sometimes…😄 2 ozs of bb’s shoot well too, but they kick at little.😎 2 ozs of each for comparison…👍 [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/p1kjQqJ/D33-A0416-36-A0-4-C83-9-D2-F-A08-DDCEA923-A.jpg[/IMG] Great videos FG, Thanks for posting. I shoot with several Guys that shoot .54,cal smoothbores. [/QUOTE]
