Title: Browning BPS LB #5
Post by: Coop1082 on March 12, 2017, 07:00:33 PM
50 degrees and a bit of a cross wind this afternoon and this was my last shot. Not the best pattern of the day, but the only one I pulled the painters paper off and counted hits. 8 7/8" circle. Counted 141. Opinions?

Looks good. I haI'm hoping that it's from a 3" shell ( have a 3" BPS). Choke was....?

3.5" LB # 5 at 40. I didn't run a snake through the barrel before this one. It was also out of a Pure Gold .670. I'm very satisfied. Just off head I would say the best one I had was in the 160s. Out of 5 shots the patterns all looked practically identical so consistency was great with the PureGold.

It's quite the thump I will say, but by the time I ran my third choke in it and after quite a few 3.5s I got somewhat impervious lol
