Colonial Arms X-Full .570

[Tom Foolery]

I ordered a non-ported Colonial Arms .570 for my Rem 870 but it was out of stock so they sent me the high dollar ported job they make.  It's a .570 constriction and very miniature 835 StarDotish as it's 1" longer than my TightWad.  I cleaned the choke and fired a round at 42yds with Fed 7's.  It was terrible, I mean like 70 in the 10".  I remembered I had cleaned my barrel and I figured I didn't get all the oil out so I brushed, dry patched, shot 2 more low brass loads, brushed and dry patched again.  I stuck up another paper @ 42yds and sent another Fed 7 at it.


A solid 145 but a touch right.


Thoughts?

Once dialed in... No escape!

I centered everything up.  I plan on shooting some Win #4's, Fed #6 and H13 #6's this weekend.  I shoot the lead for the heck of it but the H13 6's, if the pattern holds, will smoke a bird.

Shot today in 45 degrees and on a dirty barrel. 

The Fed FCW Pb #6's were 80-90 in the 10" @ 37yds.  I thought that was solid for lead at 37yds.


It did not care for Win 1 5/16oz #4's at all but I've never had anything do good with them.


The more I shoot the choke the more I like it.

I went back and counted a 16" circle on the target I posted that was 145.


The 16" count was 226, 69% of the entire payload.

Congrats on the Tom!  My 20ga MB-500 with a Turlock likes the Fed 6's as well. What she'll took him out?

Fed HW #7's 30-35yds.  Another guy on our lease was with me when I killed the bird. 


His words right after the shot, "holy **** man, that bird is stone dead, I mean stone dead and with a 20 gauge at that."



He is correct too.  The bird was looking at me and when the shot broke he was just gone.  The little 7's just slapped him to the ground.  Autopsy revealed complete pulverization from just below the waddles up.  Not a single pellet left in the bird, 100% pass through.
