HWT's if it were me. Same numbers, but heavier pellets flying faster!
Nice even pattern too if you hold it on his waddles he is going to have a BAD HEADACHE!!!
I would never base my decision on one shot with each shell. But if those results are consistent, I would shoot the HWs hands down. HW 7s will outpenetrate every pellet in the MBs, including the 5s.
What length was your barrel?
24 inch barrel. Those were the best patterns. Worst pattern was 119 with HW 7's. After a few shots i was a bit jerky on the trigger. :z-guntootsmiley:
SSX .643 correct?
yup. 643
Both are killers. Are you going try a different choke? Maybe the gun likes a little more open choke and might improve. If not, you're good to go anyway.
Tried a 670 and it was all over the place
Federal Heviweights. They will hit like a runaway freight train!
