I'm thinking on getting one of these. Does anyone here have any experience with one - if so I'd like to know your input.

Thanks,

they can only handle or i should say made to hadle a max charge of 90 grains of ffg powder wich in my opionion sucks royal iv shot a number of 10 bores and 8 bores and 90 grains with this weight of ball is animic

Rcasto:
Somebody was asking about these on another forum, and here's what I posted. By the way, the .72 is built like a tank, and a Kodiak user I spoke with who took his to Africa had some bedding work done in the breech/tang area to keep from splitting his stock with the heavy loads.



I have had Kodiaks in .58 and .72 -- both a lot of fun, but I miss the .72 the most. I found a couple of round ball targets fired over the Oehler chronograph with the .72. Hate to disappoint, but shooting a patched 540-grain .715 round ball over 120 grains Goex Fg and using an RWS musket cap (I put musket nipples on), I show a high of 1,032, low of 996 for an average of 1,009 fps.

Just found some more chronograph notes in the range notebook. The .72 Kodiak gave 880 fps with 120 grains Goex Fg and 1,050 fps with Goex FFg and musket caps shooting an 840-grain conical -- the classic paradox cotton-spool pill, probably from an NEI mould. I also show an average of 1,246 fps with the 540 grain round ball over 150 grains Goex Fg. I have a target showing the single shot I took with that 840-grain conical over 150 grains Goex Fg, but no chrono reading.
By the way, I see notes on the .58 Kodiak showing a .570 Hornady patched round ball over 120 grains Goex FFg and a Remington cap giving an average of 1,651, with an SD of 26.

Friends All.....I own the little company called Dixie Slugs (dixieslugs.com) and furnish some conicals to shooters of the Pedersoli doubles.
Gloria Ardesi at Pedersoli just sent me the following specs on these doubles.........732" in the grooves and .724" on the lands. Although these doubles are set up, more or less for round balls, if the conicals are "squared", length equals diameter, they shoot very good.
My friend Abe Klaven in Alaska has some reports on accuracy at Dixie Slugs........James

Any other info on this, I am interested as well...
