Post by: Reloader on February 20, 2011, 09:18:33 PM
835 28" bbl Star Dot .676
40yds bbl to target

2-1/8oz hevi 7 handloads

Shot back to back, dirty bbl(bore snaked, but not thoroughly cleaned)

I don't hunt with this gun and rarely pattern it, but it does throw a mean pattern to say the least.  Same gun that gave the 542 a couple years back with 2-1/4oz 7s. Funny thing is that's the only 2-1/4oz 7 I've shot at paper with it(until this weekend).  I don't intend to hunt with it, just use it for a pressure bbl and decided I might as well get a couple patterns in the process.

Have a good one,

Reloader

Thanks guys.  When I told Barry about it, he said you already made that choke famous and more expensive with the 542.  I told him these might make it even harder to find :D

These were 3.5" loads.  Yes, 10" I have a 10" disc made from blast mylar film.  40yds from bbl to target stand.
