Finally received my Pedersoli Howdah Hunter 20 gauge.
Along with it i got #4 shot, and #7 shot, along with 60 caliber lead balls.
i also received along with it lubed ball patches, overshot cards and 4 other wads. all in unlubed versions. They are.
1/8" thick fiber wads
1/4" thick fiber wads
1/8" thick cork wads
1/2" fiber wads.
Now my question is this, as i have seen about a fozen different options to loading.
Should i use ONE wad (lubed or unlubed) between the powder and shot/ball or TWO!? O maybe even THREE? in what combination? lubed or unlubed?
I do know that if i use the shot, use an overshot card, and if use the ball, wrap the ball in the lubed ball patch
But what should i use between the powder and the shot/ball?
I allready know the amount of powder to use as well the amount of shot. Just not for sure of the wads to use between powder and shot/ball and which if any ahould be lubed? I am using bore butter.
I do know jow to properly lube the wads, just want to know which ones should be lubed, or if i should lube them all as well.
Thanks
