Very Nice 10" patterns, good work
That 1 3/8oz load looks really good for a SXS I have that needs lighter loads of TSS to keep POI to POA
That top photo is unreal! If legit, it's the densest core I've ever seen by a long shot. The ratio between the 10" and 10"-20" is almost 3.5:1. I've never exceeded 2:1. Wouldn't hunt with it on a dare as there is minimal margin for error. Awesome all the same.
Wow!!

I can assure you it was legit and exactly 40. I was glad that one made pressure as it's a jewel. That will be my load of choice in my A400 this year, but I will open it to a .580 Carlson and most likely duplex some 19g 9.5 in.

Beyond impressive! I've never seen anything like it. That's almost 100% of the payload (1.5 oz of #9 @ 362 pellets/oz, 18 g/cc) in the 20" diam.
Ronny makes great loads that all pattern good and are easy to load. He sells shot at a fair price and is a great guy to deal with. Doenst mind helping and answering any questions you may have.

Thanks man! It's a passion and I love helping guys get started in this hobby. Nothing like enjoying the shell twice.
Looks like Ronny has hit it out of the park again!
Ronny,
IMO, the 313/233 Lil Hammer is hard to beat and the proof is in a bunch of flopping gobblers. Great work!!!!
For us guys that can't shoot 9's, illegal in Iowa and more, show us some 7's. Please.

I don't ever order 7s because I never get asked for them. That said one of my Northern friends tried some in the Lil Hammer and it did very well. I think I may have a small amount of 7s in my loading room. I'll try a pattern for you in the coming weeks.
A lot of years of testing loads to achieve that performance outstanding Reloader!!
That little hammer load is a great hunters pattern for sure.

I was glad it did similar to the original LH. It's nice to have loads with various wads these days.
All them Patterns are awesome but I personally like Pattern #4 at 40 yards the spread is perfect in 20" Wish my 870 did anything even close to your work.
More awesome patterns, you never ceases to amaze me man.
awesome
Ronny I had decided to keep it simple and continue to load the little hammer as it has served me very very well but the top photo keeps making me want to try that load. 420 in the 10" is the best I've seen. I know it would be tight but in the fields I hunt I'd give it a shot.
Thanks guys!

That LH is hard to beat Luke. Holler at me if you want to try one of those other loads.
