As you can see with the exception of the that first shot it was a very consistent load. I patterned this load out of a Benelli M2 with factory chokes. The MOD @ 40yds gave an 87% pattern very uniform with a really tight core. The IC @ 40yds gave a 77% with really nice even distribution of the pattern. I have pictures of the patterns but have never taken the time to learn how to up load on here. |
