Best I ever got into was a 100 acre patch of Sunflowers with two ponds! I was using a 11 bore percussion muzzleloader. More fun than a barrel of monkeys. Another time I used my 10” Contender with custom #9 3” .410 loads. I did alright too. Last time I went I scrounged some purple hull Federal 16 loads. Used the replacement Steven’s 5100 double from my youth. Grandfather gave me that shotgun for my 13th birthday. Stolen when I was 17, replaced it 12 yrs. Later with an identical model and condition. Sitting on a 5 gal. bucket I shot most of a box. I had such a headache I had to drive home covering one eye.

That 16 on the 20 chassis kicked lots harder than I remembered. But those purple hulls, the nitro smell, I think Federals are a bit dirtier than others, but heavenly memories.
