Title: First pattern
Post by: GAFLhunter on March 20, 2012, 09:41:22 AM
This is my first time I have ever patterned my gun. It was a dirty gun and shot this at 30 yard with 78 degree weather. I am using Hevi shot magnum blend with a tight wad choke in a Nova 12 ga. It had 222 in the 7 inch circle. Any tips or suggestions other than clean my gun? I am new to patterning my gun.

Other than cleaning the barrel, nope. That looks like a pretty good pattern!

I'd say you are ready to spread that pattern on a tom.

I am soon going to Bass Pro to buy the same load.

Well I decided not to shoot it again cause the shots are so expensive. But I did kill 2 birds with this set up this weekend :z-guntootsmiley: 1 at 35 yards and the other at 43 yards. So Im just gonna stick with it and maybe try some more combos next year.

You using 3" or 3 1/2"?

3". The store I got them at didnt have the 3 1/2. I did shoot the Hevi 13 3 1/2" number 5s and it was not as impressive as the mag blends.
