Daryl---yea, it might be LIGHT for experienced guys like you! For me it was quite a charge! Hahahaha! Knocked pretty good.

I will try to keep the projectile weight to 4 ounces or less from now on. And yes I will slowly increase the powder charge. I think I will go to 2F powder as well, that 3F is hot for that big-O 4 bore.

I found a fishing store online that has 4 OZ (1 inch Diameter) canon ball sinker weights for 52 cents each, minimum 10 pound order, so it looks like I will need to go that route. $10 for shipping. Reasonable to test.

BTW---Four ounces of #4 shot is about 600 Pellets! Quite a TURKEY LOAD! hahaha
