Ok. I have a New Englander that I bought new when they first came out. Probably 40 years ago. I also have a shotgun barrel. I think it's an open cylinder or improved cylinder at most. I'd like to give the gun to a friend who due to past mistakes can't carry a modern gun. But I'd like to give him a fair chance on a Turkey. My friend is a war vet from 1st Iraq war. PTSD etc. He was behind enemy lines on his own doing recon.
Anyway I'm thinking TSS shot? I need a recipe and where to get components. Thanks for your help.
I was thinking also maybe I can send barrel somewhere to get threaded to take chokes. Or maybe a poly choke. I don't know.
read through the posts on here. You will need a shotcup with TSS for sure. Ballistic Products has what you need. My M/L likes the 15gm/cc #7 but TSS will work too. If it is possible, threading the barrel for a choke will be a huge difference. If not, maybe try lead. I read somewhere about a recipe that does well in more open cylinders. May have been on here.
I'd stay away from a threaded choke, too much of a pain to load. Have a jug choke put in the shotgun barrel, I have one on my CVA 12 gauge and it shoots well.
Good luck. Cherish that New Englander. They are almost impossible to find in decent shape
