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.





W.W. Greener's 9th edition of THE BOOK lists the 3 loads.
110gr. 153gr. and 191gr.

If there was a 3 1/2 dram load, which is 95gr., it is likely a light SxS load.

In my SxS, 191gr. shot to the same 'group' at 100 meters. What was interesting, was that smokeless that developed the same speed of 1,550fps, kicked about 50% of the BP load, if that much and shot identically.
