you should have gotten the manuael with the gun? in my manuale for my pedersoli 10 from cabellas its 110 gr ffg, ...overpowder (nitro) card,....1/ 2 inch fiber wad,..... one and half ounce shot.(or 1 1/4 ounce) and over shot card, i use two with side by sides.. place the the punch ridge on the over shot cards up to help hold the shot down.. if you shoot one barrel remove the nipple and repack the load in the unshot barrel so it doesnt work up and loosen the load.. a loose load will pattern poor and could be dangerous.. measure the ram rod on the hand and remember where it comes to on your hand in the loaded gun.. make sure both barrels have the correct length of ramrod protruding or pull the load that is wrong.. you can double charge one side and short the other.. i always put lube like tc lube between the nitro card and the fiber wad... you can reduce the load quite a bit but you should add more fiber wad to keep the load from tipping.. one problem i had with competition was that the nitro cards i was getting were not large enought to seal the bore..ihad to make my own with oversized punch and picture frame matting(using a couple under the nitro card)) if you have a choke slightly bend the nitro card to get it by the choke, and put it over the powder and then do another and criss cross the folds.. do not cram it in edge wise... then with choke instead of using fiber wads use wool felt wads soaked with tc lube.. they can be purchsed or you can buy scrap hard wool felt and make your own.. about two 1/4 inche thick wads is enough.. again if the load is gettin too short from downloading you will need to add someting (nitrio card or felt to keep it from tipping..too many nitro cards will reduce velocity.. be sure to pattern the gun and make the right barrel overlap the pattern of the left barrel with your chokes.. if the barrels dont shoot on center worth a darn your in for some serious problems.. pedersoli is not famous for having accurate barrel alignment.. some are some arnt.. yo will proberly have to raise the comb to make it on target at 40 yards but this is normal with most guns.. i use cardboard and camo tape.. make the cardboard level or you will get slamed in the face when you fire.. a proper amount of distance between barrrel alignment is about three inches .. more can be ok with more open chokes.. with a center bead i sighted mine in with the left barrel (with full choke), and then used improved cylender on the right barrel to overlap the full choke pattern.. . dave
