62 caliber Smooth Bore
Mike Yancey:
Eric, I love that shot pattern there! I've not heard of it. Any other was in the load?
Eric Krewson:
Just a standard load with an over powder wad over the powder. In the above load I cut some thin card wads out of a cereal box and put 4 of them over the powder, the shot and then a 1/2" olive oil soaked fiber wad over the shot. On the first few shots I put the wad and oil in the microwave to make sure it was saturated. On the shot above I just rolled the wads sides briefly in the olive oil because the completely soaked one made a mess loading.
Go over to the Muzzleloader Forum and do a search on a Skychief load, lots of input from folk that tried it.
Mike Yancey:
