Those olive oil soaked cushion wads are some drippy bois

Looks like you're ready. I'm headed out to pattern board later today. I'd like to try out a load with no cushion, just 2 os cards over powder and one over the shot. I use that for goose hunting but honestly don't remember how dense the center of the pattern is. Always more to learn on these smoothies! My season opens tomorrow! Good luck on the turkey.

I use a "square load" thats an equal volume of powder and #5 shot. I don't use nitro cards. My load column goes powder, dry cushion wad, shot, and lastly a cotton ball lubed with Crisco.

In case you're interested I finally tested my load..... 100gr FFg + 1op card(I found some)+2 ounces of #5 shot + os card gave me 10 pellets in kill zone at 35 yards and 14 pellets at 30 yards. 20 gauge fusil 42" barrel.

Good stuff,, Brian. I didn't realize the order "Skychief" used. I guess the olive oil shouldn't leach into your powder as I thought.

Don't the cushion wads go between the powder and shot. Not over the shot???

What trigger do you have on your gun? I have the Pedersoli Trade Gun and the trigger is somewhere between 100-150 pounds. Lol!

It's just a single. If you trigger is heavy it's either in the wrong relation to the sear or the lock needs work. Since it's already built, the only logical thing to do is work on the lock.

My question is: why olive oil? Why not canola or regular vegetable oil for that matter? What makes olive oil so special for this? I love the results and am going to try it when my Fowler is finished later this month but wonder why the insistence on olive oil. Do different grades of olive oil matter? And that's the same lock that's going to be on mine too.
