A couple patterns from my 835

[Tom Foolery]

Here are a few a few pattern pics from my 24" nonported 835 + .676" StarDot choke.

48 degrees, 81% humidity, swirlingish wind 4-6mph - Win HV 3.5" 2oz #6's - 42yds

10" - 143  -  16" - 230  -  20" - 302




Weather was not great this day either, mid 50's with the humidty up - Hevi13 3.5" 2.25oz #7's @ 42yds

10" - 265  -  16" - 401




33 degrees humidity up - Hevi13 3.5" 2.25oz #6's @ 43yds - 10" - 170  - 19" - 298




None of these are amazing patterns as far as numbers but they are all very even and the 835 makes it rough on gobblers.

I wish I could get 265 with my stardot

All dead turkey patterns and look just like the ones from my 835 with a Carlson's turkey choke.

Good looking patterns. My 7 numbers are similar to yours with the same rig, but I am shooting in much warmer weather.

Thanks for the compliments guys.  I am probably more pleased with the lead 6's than any of the others.  


Here is a 20yd pattern with the Win HV 2oz 6's.  I had never shot the 835 up close.  It put 15 OUTSIDE the 10".




Here is one with Hevi13 3.5" 2.25oz 6's @ 42yds with a Carlson's .705" choke.  I think it went 171 - 10"

Nice.   I'm looking forward to see what my Dad's 835 will do with handloads soon.  He's got an IC BDS in .710 (I think).

[Squirrel Hunter]

I'd hunt with that all day long.

[Grunt-N-Gobble]

Sorry....... I was wrong. Its .675 dia.

Picked up his gun tonight to polish the barrel and checked the choke.

[Stoney Creek]

That will do!!!! Great patterns and they will get even better in warmer weather. Those black Winchesters are the best lead shells out there imo, they still get it done....

Nice pattern... had an 835 one time and I couldn't get it to pattern well for two cents.

Those are some great patterns thanks for sharing.
