yes,you can,theres ways of helping the patterning problem.normal charge in a black powder shotgun is a 1-1 ratio of powder and shot BY VOLUME.try lowering your powder charge to about half and try it.its not great but it helps.I have a very old spanish rife thats sort of a rifled musket type affair.it has very shallow medford type rifling (rounded instead of square type lands) it shoots best with 50 grains of black and fifty grains of shot(thats a normal 28 ga load in a modern shell by the way),with a cardboard wad over powder,a cushion wad made from a chalkboard eraser,and two overshot wads. fyi 28 ga is slightly larger than 54 cal,my deer load for this uses a 54cal ball with two patches. ive hunted quail,dove turkey and deer with it.even shot a deer,and 15 minutes later shot a turkey from the same stand using it.with your square rifling i would start off with around 30 grains of powder and shot.and start up from there until your pattern becomes unusable.be careful of shot in your veggies though!by the way,pattern your rifle/shotgun at the distance you shoot from a stand,if thats 10 yards and you can get a good pattern there,your good to go.no need to load to shoot 60 yards.thats whats so nice about black powder its so easy to customize your load to your shot.remember your not shooting flying birds here at come what may ranges,your shooting stationary targets at known ranges,world of difference. just use heavy enough shot,for turkeys i use #2.But i will concure with the others,for very little ,far less than you could buy powder and shot ,you can buy a decent 22 scope at wally world.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
