BP shot shell reloading

[desert deuce]

Thanks for the inputs all of you - I'll try a lighter load and see how it works. My daughter takes me pheasant hunting every year before Thanksgiving and it's time to get to the trap range and practice. I thought I'd try a round with BP in a shotgun I haven't used for years and years.
An inexpensive Spanish model but it has some classic lines.

LTC Fogman Sir! Been there, done that. If you don't have a well trained four legged retriever you will need a spotter to stand upwind and keep the bird in sight until it hits the ground, (provided you hit it of course), and direct you to where you may or may not find the bird because the smoke column follows the shot column.
