my gun really likes the Hevi13 Straight #6's shooting 200 plus in 10" but I wanted to also try the MagBlends...posting this for others benefit. Really not a bad pattern at all, I would not be afraid to hunt with this set up...dead turkey all day. Shot 2 magblends, one with a clean barrel one with dirty (3rd shot) and both were very similar 176 and 170 and pretty even. MISSOURI OPENING DAY IS ONLY 10 DAYS AWAY!!! Bring it on!!!!
Looks just fine! Im waiting on the MO opener too, problem is im stuck working public land birds, we all know how fun that is!
Awesome patterns! :icon_thumright:
here is the link to the Hevi 13 straight 6's pattern from last June, as a comparison

Looks good that should do the job on any gobbler. Thats at 40 yds right.
How do you compensate for how far off the poa your poi is? Do you just try to remember to hold 6 or 8 inches left?
That looks like a good candidate for a red dot to me?
TWO: Yes its at 40 yards
Spaight, No POI vs AIM is actually fine on this gun, open sights but I don't really bear down when I'm patterning, I have a 10" cardboard cutout that I place over the 10" of most dense then trace the circle, i shoot at a big paper and then simply get close with my sights and squeeze. If you'll notice the 2nd MagBlend shot I really aimed that one and it's ideal, largely concentrated in the center and just a bit low (IMO high pellets offer nothing). I just put up a new post with all the loads I've shot yesterday and today, there is some good stuff the Straight 6's and the Straight 7's put up some nice numbers see below
