I haven't posted any pattern pics for awhile, but I tried out a buddies choke last week that put up some good numbers.

These were shot using a 12ga 11-87 with a Sumtoy choke @ 40yds.

Was this a HandLoad? I did not know Federal had a 2oz. load of HW 7 shot.
Hunt every day as if it were your last.

Very nice pattern.  Mine went 206 with this shell the other day in high 30 degree temperature with little wind.  I was really happy as I barely broke 100 until joining this website last year.

Yes........ Handload.  I've been trying out different choke combinations to get the numbers I was looking for.  This was actually better than expected or what I was "shooting" for.  Anything between 225-250 would have been great and this far exceeded expectations.  My aim will have to be very precise.  Good thing that I use a scope!!!

I need to learn how to read better.  I thought that he meant HS 7.  My mistake.  I am still happy with my pattern.
