Title: Winchester 1300 - Carlson LB XR .660 - Federal HW TSS 1 3/4 #9
Post by: ewsIII on April 03, 2021, 03:37:18 PM
Winchester 1300 w/ 22" barrel shooting a Carlson LB XR .660 and Federal Heavyweight TSS 1 3/4 oz #9.  Looking for feedback on pattern.  Adjusted the tad right, but interested in more experienced thoughts - 20 and 40 yards.  Any recommendations?  Thanks!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210403/47d56a73b39efca20365ca4a02dea846.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210403/f3eacdc673479ddd51976e7bb317ecfb.jpg)

Yep, like you said pattern is just a little to the right. You have adjusted, you should be good to go. I would not shoot anymore, you are good at 20 and 40. :icon_thumright:
 I just patterned my 1300 12ga 3" this morning with the same TSS #9.
I had three chokes.
Carlson .660 = 208 in 10" at 40yds
Trulock .665 = 245 in 10" at 40yds
HS Undertaker .675 = 174 in 10" at 40yds

20 yds you nailed it but the 40 yd target for me is a tad high. Break the distance and do a 30 yd target and see if it looks like your 40 yd target and adjust from there.

I was thinking 40 looked a scosh high.  Going to shoot it again soon and will see what 30 looks like too.

Switched to a Carlson Federal Heavyweight TSS choke and saw a vast improvement.  30 yards.
