Slugs are loaded bare over usually a fibre wad NOT in a shot wad. You can cut the petals off a shot wad and use that if you wish. With round ball I used a cut down one with another cut to just the...

If it is anything like the old Baikal I used to have, recoil is a begar.. It worked but by hell you knew it wasn't shot going through that hole. But we used a rifled slug (Winchestor I think)

Yeah, I agree these 2 calibres are far more accurate/consistent than 22LR at 100m. I am sure there are other calibres that are also smaller than 223 but will do the job, for example Ruger 204. My...

Yep the old .22s a bit on the light side for goats, even a .303 with exarmy ball amo has a hard job knocking them over, goes straight through . A .223 or .243w would be the way to go and with a...

You must be a Marlin owner. I can tell by your shrivelled prune-like tone of Baptist self-righteousness. Right at the start I will say that Winchester owners are simply cooler than you. This must...
