Title: I think I'm good to go: 3" mag blends and pure gold
Post by: C J Stahly on March 18, 2012, 05:04:30 PM
With the opener 3 weeks to the day away I finally got everything dialed in.  I patterned both guns over the course of the last several weeks and dialed them in yesterday.  

After a few other shots this is what the 870 did:  PG 670 and 3" mag blends {202 in the 10" (my tristar looks the same, only with a little more hits in the 10")}

I like to put the dot on the birds head, so when I raise up a couple of inches he is going to get a good bit of shot in the head.  Im guessing the only thing he is going to do is drop!

Here is a link to some of the pics of patterns I have gotten.  

The ones on big paper are a little short of 40, but I was more than happy.  My goal with these two guns was 180 average.  I have far exceeded that.  

I have get 200 ish with 6s most of the time

Some of the pics are of the 870 and some with the tristar both sporting a PG670
