What size R/B for 12 ga?

(1/2) > >>

Matt B:
If this has been asked before, please link me to that discussion. Looking to see what size round ball would fit a 12 ga s x s. Planning for the fall hunt, I've taken deer with my two 50 cal caplocks already.

I was also thinking loading one barrel with round ball and the other with several .36 cal round balls.  

Thoughts?

I use a .690 with heavy denim patch in mine

My first thought was "check the regs!"

In MN you can't deer hunt (In Muzzleloader Season) With more than one barrel or with more than a single projectile in that barrel.

That being said... Let us know how you make out with it.

Fletcher:
Is you gun improved cylinder bore?  I have heard that accuracy is made worse when dealing with 'choke'

Anybody know for sure?

jbullard1:
Both mine have no choke and I'm lucky to hit a target past 40 yards with a PRB
 But DANG If I Do Connect   The 10:00am BNSFe doesn't hit any harder
