Has anyone tried such a thing from a pistol? I have wondered how useful a smoothbore Plains Pistol (28 ga) would be for small game (using a screw-in full choke), and then wondered how well a buck n ball load might work on hogs if I ever had to track one.
I’m thinking over powder card followed by lubed was, a few buck, and a patched .535” ball. From a cylinder bore I’m wondering if the spread would even be much at say 10 yds. No doubt the velocity would likely be low that the pellets didn’t deform much giving good penetration (how much for puny .30 to .32 cal ball in a pig?).
