Title: GREAT day at the patterning board
Post by: drum817 on March 09, 2014, 09:39:45 PM
Went out today to put the finishing touches on getting the Weatherby PA-459 zeroed in.  I shot the Long Beard 3" 6's & a few 3" 5's.  I'm gonna probably hunt with the 6's but the 5's ain't no joke!!!  All shots were at a lasered 40 yards with the muzzle behind the line... using my Weatherby PA-459 (18.5" barrel) & a SumToy .650 choke.  I"M READY TO HUNT!!!

Only shot two fives...but the poa/poi was the same as the 6's....I'm liking the 5's too!!!

Great patterns. Never thought I'd see that from a 3" lead shell. You are ready.
