i was simple curious one day at the range. so i decided to fire 1 round of 7.5 shot in my rifled barrel. i bet you are thinking what a dumb sob. but i had to see what would happen.

i shot at a pizza box probably 15"x15" i think at 15 yards. pellets all over almost an even spread of shot all over the box. took the barrel off and there was alot of powder and other fouling in it. took a good bit of cleaning to get it all out. tornado brush, phosphor bronze brush, bore cleaner. that was only 1 shot round.

would i do it again, heck no.
