Thread: 12ga shotgun slugs

I've been having a bit of fun with a pedersoli muzzle loading shotgun lately and patched 16 gauge round ball slugs. The accuracy with just the bead is 6 shots into a 10 inch circle at 50 yards next step is to fit a low profile rear sight to see how much better it can get.

Strangely enough I read something other day on an african big game website.
Thread was poor man's double or something like that.
Fellow did some PH work and tried using buckshot for the smaller DG work ie wounded leopards. Not a fan.
Ended up shortening a SxS shortie and installing a rear peep and low front sight.
Still close range but way happier with brenneke slugs than buckshot.
