Finally had an opportunity to shoot my new Weatherby. The plan was to pattern both Apex and Foxtrot loads, but the idiot in charge of bringing the shells, me, managed to grab the Foxtrot .410's instead of 20 gauge!
Patterning was combined with sighting in, so the first pattern is quite a bit high. The barrel was cleaned, but not deeply. The chokes, Carlson's .555 and.575, were right out of the package. I ran 5 field loads through the factory choke to insure that the gun would cycle correctly, then ran a boresnake through the barrel twice.
I was a bit surprised that the pellet count is virtually identical, but the 575 looks more center dense. Ten inch count was approximately 200. I hope to get out and try the Foxtrot shells in a few days.
