Been watching the weather and finished up my shot trap this week so I loaded up today to testing my trap (worked GREAT) and test a few loads and chokes....
Apex #9/ .570 Rob Roberts (best performance of all choke/load combos)

Federal #8x10/ .570 Rob Roberts (this was my 2nd best pattern)

And I weighed my shot I caught from my trap. Caught roughly 5 oz of 6.25 oz of #9's I shot
Nice!! Thanks for sharing. Looks like you're ready!!
some fine looking patterns there
I really like the 570 RR and the Federal 8x10's
Man, I'd take any of those patterns! All nice and even...
All very nice patterns but those Apex 9's RR .570 look mean.
All will kill, pick what you like and roll with it.
Went out today to check my POI at 20 yards..

^^^^^youch. Is tss hard enough that making a trap for them to collect makes them reusable?
Nice patterns buddy and agreed that .570 and Apex is sweet.
Looks like a headless bird at 20 yards!
