[tak]

I had my Thompson Center New Englander 12 gauge jug choked full by Danny Caywood. I use a 75 grain measure of 2F, then 3 Ballistic Products .070 nitro cards, then a 90 grain measure of shot, then one .070 nitro card (basically a V. M. Starr load). I pre-punch holes in the nitro cards. It shoots a good tight pattern for squirrel or turkey out to 30 yards. It hits hard enough to go through both sides of a baked bean can at 30 yards. I tried over powder wads or just 2 over shot cards but it patterned the best with the load mentioned above. I have 2 more New Englander barrels I plan on sending to Caywood, hopefully, I get close to the same results.
