Now why can't every shell shoot like that? It's weird how that works. I have seen shells from the exact same box and lot shoot way different. I seen it the last time I shot my 835 with the Star Dot choke.

They don't get much better than that!

Great pattern!

I also got a good 3" Magnum Blend pattern through the IC .665 last week. See Below.

Thanks. I'm happy enough with 294, but I'm thinking that breaking 300 is quite a milestone for anyone with a 3" shell, unless you shoot several patterns with H13 3-2-7 shells, and then count the very best pattern out of several shots on a warm day.
