I'm jealous too.  Today was 35 degrees and that is pretty warm for this time of year around here.  I cant wait to get out and pattern but that probably wont be till mid to late march for me.

Went to the range today. Cloudy, light drizzle and 45 degrees. Got my sight on target and patterned 3 different loads. Will post results when I get home.

Yeah! Post those results man! Patterning is half the fun to me.

Mossberg 835 and Indian creek. Longbeard 3" 6's. Due to some generosity I'm going to try some Hevi 7's. Good people.

That is a serious pattern. Did you count them out?

That's great! I'm gonna make it out in the next few weeks to fine tuneand choose between 5's and 6's. I'd like to pick up some hevi 7's to try, but I can't talk myself into 5 dollars per shell

I'm with ya there man.  In Michigan, we have a 1-bird limit so roughly $85 for ten shells means around $8.50 a year to have the best she'll I've shot.  Pretty cheap in my mind.

Bought me a new addition to my 835.



Now need to get some Hevi 7's.   Trying to decide whether to spend the extra on Nitro's or just go with Hevi 13.  Love my Nitro's I know that.  Wallet doesn't though.

Sweet. I just ordered myself a Trulock Federal #7 heavy weight for the 870 youth.

Definitely will do that.  Temps are finally gonna start picking up here in Michigan starting tomorrow.  Still gonna be a tad chilly for good patterning, but it's a step in the right direction.
