Benelli Montefeltro (Fed. #9, Apex #9, Fed 8x10 loads)
« on: February 02, 2019, 06:08:54 PM »
Been watching the weather and finished up my shot trap this week so I loaded up today to testing my trap (worked GREAT) and test a few loads and chokes....

Apex #9/ .570 Rob Roberts  (best performance of all choke/load combos)





Apex #9/ .562 Sumtoy




Federal #9/ .562 Sumtoy




Federal #9/ .570 Rob Roberts




Federal #8x10/ .562 Sumtoy




Federal #8x10/ .570 Rob Roberts (this was my 2nd best pattern)

And I weighed my shot I caught from my trap. Caught roughly 5 oz of 6.25 oz of #9’s I shot

some fine looking patterns there
I really like the 570 RR and the Federal 8x10's
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

All very nice patterns but those Apex 9’s RR .570 look mean.

All will kill, pick what you like and roll with it.
