Hey guys, thought I'd share some 835 pattern pics. I just got the gun, and was excited to pattern it.

The shot shell is 3" Winchester LBXR #6 (1 3/4 oz.).
The choke is the Primos Tightwad (.690).
24" deep cleaned barrel. I did not swab between shots.
The yardages were at a taped 20, 30, and 40 yards.
The weather was 54 deg. F., and 65% RH.

With stock sights, I was trying to determine what would give me the best overall/even hunting pattern around 20 to 40 yards. I tried two other chokes that I will also post the results of.

I counted pellets in a 10" circle for the 40 yard shot.
