Title: A5 patterns
Post by: backforty on March 10, 2025, 08:12:39 PM
Took the 1948 A5 out today and patterned it at 20 and what turned out to be 35 yds. The old federal heavyweight #7 shot pretty well. I also shot the prairie storm which shot well at 20 but is iffy at 30.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250311/c4f44fca48781d89378ff055441e29f5.jpg)

From my experience the Magnum 12s with 32" barrels have a great pattern, the Magnum 20s leave a lot to be desired in comparison
