M. Mouse,
Ya reading the above.....

You ought to be able to buy .32 cal. lubed cushion wads from Dixie or Track or someone similar. They would compress to .300 easy enough. I use them in my .36 revolver, work great... [hmm]

Had to shoot from 15 feet, that is the shortest distance at Ben Avery Range. Interesting side note, you can see small holes from # 8 shot on the target. Using the same derringer from the same distance, (Bond Derringer, .45 / .410) I shot at a target 18 inches to the right. There were more shot holes in this target than the one I shot at! That means at least a 3 ft. pattern at 15 feet...

ok.......... next trip to shooters (in a couple of weeks) I've gotta get some shot!  I don't feel quite so bad about my one bullet hole now!  I really don't do too badly for being a gurl!    sure wish you could happen upon another place where you can shoot from 10 feet rev.

How about the "Abe Lincoln" Memorial Derringer shoot ? Line up some rocking chairs fitted up with a head shaped target (Beard optional) and blaze away. Extra points for jumping from the theater box to the stage. Ever wonder why actors are told, "Break a leg"???? Just ask JW Booth. ("Aside from that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play.........")  [conf]
