Patterning the Shotgun muzzy!
« on: December 27, 2014, 12:57:32 PM »
Not feeling the best today with some kind of flu, but I had enough of laying around waiting to feel better.

Went out to 35 yards with the CVA Hawken 12g and loaded up 70gr Goex 2f, 1 1/8oz, over powder wad, 1oz lead shot,thick wad and of course the over shot card.


Backed it down to 1oz 7 1/2 shot and NO thick wad.


Once I feel better I can play around with powder/shot charges.

Recoil is not bad at all! 70gr with 1 1/8oz really started to show the recoil but still not in the 20 gauge shotgun level.

If grouse season were tomorrow, I'd be hunting.

Nice.  That's better than I can shoot with my 870  :chuckle:  That would make a nice turkey gun.  :tup:

I bought mine as a combo kit rifle .50cal/12gauge. Its pretty much non existent to find a CVA Hawken with a shotgun barrel but there are quite a few other brands that are easier to find like TC, Knight  that had offered BP shotguns.

cva wont have any stuff like that in stock for the sidelocks, they sold all of that off to another company. I even called deer creek products which has all the old cva stuff and they  just went quiet when i asked about a hawken shotgun barrel, they never heard of it.  :chuckle:
