Modern 10 guage shotgun with round ball?
17/09/08 11:22 PM

Hello,
I have a Kodiak 72 cal double black powder rifle and have started to have fun with it. I have been reading the post here regarding round balls in shotguns have decided upon a project.

I have a 10-12 year old Ugartechea 10 guage double barreled shotgun that does not get used. It has 32 inch full choked barrels, a substantial recoil pad, an elevated rib with a bead front site and weighs approximatly 10 pounds. I just recieved my MEC reloading equipment and the lyman shotshell reloading manuel for 10 guage.

I was interested in making round ball loads for this gun, and possibly cutting the barrels back to 26-28 inches and having front post site and wide V rear site installed.

Has anyone converted a simple double barreled shotgun to paradox type gun before?
Was adding sites practical, they would be done by gunsmith?
Is there a gunsmith here who does these projects?
I assume, I can exchange a round ball weighing the same (or less) for shot, and use published loading formulas?
If I cut the barrels back, remeasure the actual bore, who can make me a round ball mould for me?

Any thoughts suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,

Tim
