DEAD rooster... :funnyturkey:
Nice
What you're going to find that is even more important than the pattern that those XRHD's throw is how hard they hit Mr. Tom. They just flat out knock the dog snot out of the birds when they hit!

Thanks Al! I love the shot to shot consistancy, and the flat power those shells bring! :icon_thumright:
Smokin'!!!!
I've always been fond of 6's. Gonna try mine with some soon...
We are getting better patterns out of 20ga's than that.
For a 3.5" gun and htl I personally wouldn't be happy with that at all. I saw an 870 super mag with a polished barrel, a sumtoy .650, and 3.5" win xr 6s go 188 and 199 several weeks ago.

Looks good. Nice even pattern. Dead birds every shot.
Thanks for the POSITIVE comments guys.
Dead turkey for sure with that load!
The best I have got with that same load was 177 out of a nova and I was plenty pleased indeed - that pattern posted looks to be every bit lethal on any gobbler in my opinion
Take into mind that those Winchesters are clocking in at 1200fps+ and pack a whallop
Thats about the same #s I am getting with the same load, and I can assure you that it is lethal way futher than you should shoot. Plus its not one holing at 20 yards. To me it is the ideal pattern.
