Shot the longbeards out the 935 today. I have 4 pictures to show. The gun has a 24in barrel and I was shooting the 3.5in #6 shells. Choke is the .670 SSX. DISCLAIMER my range finder quit and these are long paces to target and back. WARNING these shells will cause misses and headless turkeys!!!
Post them pics, lets see um!
I'm trying says file to big
40 yards (stepped) 295 counted plus wad and unknown amount of #6's where the poa was at (packing tape). I counted these in a 10in x 10in square. I DID NOT counted the unmarked ones in the 16x14 box
30 yards (stepped) 217 counted and some funky shell piece stuck at bottom. This had no poa I was point shooting cardboard to check my gun after it jammed on a 2.75 shell I put in to shoot a squirrel in the back yard real quick lol
25 yards (stepped) jerked it low, kicking 3.5 shells, but got 266 counted plus the wad/shot hole. That's a 12inx11in box. But most of the shot is in a 6x6 box
If the shot dont kill him the wad will

20 hunting steps (typical shot) 145 countable holes and a massive hole on my poa. That's a 10inx9in square with 6x6 getting the bulk
I'm afraid of some misses lol!! The patterns look a little spectacular to me compared to the more modest 30 yard pattern. But that's what they done
Hope they come out with a 20 ga load

I'd buy them for a 30-06 if they made them lol!!
I do want to clarify these are good steps like you step something off in the woods and these ain't 10in circles but squares. I shot 3 more at 40 during my fine tuning my sights and they was equally impressive. The 30 yard shot was the least tight but if you will notice the bottom of the cut out I had a buffer out of the shell that at have effected it, no other shot did that
Ya shot me excited about patterning my 3" 5s and 6s! If this snow would go away or at least warm up a little I'll be out back seein how mine pattern
These are awesome!
That should do it
Got rangefinder battery replaced. What I stepped off for 40 read 38,39,39...my 30 was 31 all 3 reads...my 25 was 26,25,26...and my 20 was 19 all 3 reads.
a 10x10 square = 100 square inches of area
a 10" circle = 78.5 sq inches of area
So if we multiply your numbers by .785 that should give relative counts for a 10 inch circle.
That would be 231.5 which if it shoots that consistent I'd be happy
Thanks for the math homework. I needed that :lol: :icon_thumright:
So just what is that piece in the 30 yard target? Is that the resin chunk that Sum thought might be hitting the paper? Only a lot bigger chunk. NO way.
What temp did you shoot in anyway?
Pretty good steppin
:drool: good luck
I'm a military contractor and have to know my pace count walking for my job so it gets pretty easy. That thing in the target was the same diameter as the shell and was made out of some kind of soft material similar to the stuff you might on a car battery that's used as an insulator on the posts. Not sure what that was. Here is a close up picture.
Has been a few shells cut open, some that did it should have the answer. :-\
True but I can make myself cut open one lol
