Also:
1.5 Ounces of Fiocchi #6 Lead put 190 evenly spaced pellets on an 18" x 18" target at 30 Yards, using the Factory Full Choke.

QuoteBTW, what did you get for 10" numbers?

Not much with the 2nd load.  But it impressed me enough with 1.5 ounces of #6's, to cause me to look forward to trying out 2 ounces of #6's.

I posted this thread to show what a Full choke can do with #7.5's, since there are a lot of older 2.75" guns with fixed Full choke barrels.

I have every intention of trying a tighter choke in the BPS, but I was a little surprised by 145 at 30 Yards, with a Full choke and 1.25 ounces of shot.

I found an INV+ Preston Pittman "Star Dot" Choke, hanging on a store shelf.  I now own it.
.676-.682? in INV+

I also picked up a Primo's Dead Deer Buckshot Choke.
.700 in INV+

The Dead Deer Choke is .690 in RemChoke, and throws nice even patterns with Turkey loads and Squirrel loads, as well as very good 00 Buck patterns.  I liked it so much in my 870, that I wanted one for my BPS.

I also picked up some large white posters, and I hope to pattern soon.

Some Lead will fly soon!!!
