Daryl,

That is a very interesting, informative writeup. I wam surprised you used 7 drams as I thought that 3 1/2 drams was the load for 12 bore guns. I don't reload BP cartridge guns and only load my 18 ga Barnes DR which is a muzzle loader. It is interesting to see WW Greener with loads up to 7 drams.

It is amazing that a deer with a 3/4" hole shot between its spine & lungs will run. One of my friend told me about shooting a deer that had been shot with an arrow the previous year and somehow survived.
