I currently use a SxS Janeck (Saxony) percussion .58 x 24 ga (buscheflinte)for deer, with a lubed Lee R.E.A.L. in the rifled barrel and a patched .58 roundball in the smooth barrel.
Hal is the shot barrel choked? If so, how much. I have been carrying some 16 gauge Triple Ought buckshot reloads when I am quail hunting for those times I run into feral hogs. Usually my quail guns are choked cylinder and 15 thousandths (or so). I worry if in excitement I shoot the patched ball through the 15/1000th barrel I will damage the gun.
Thanks!
Mike
