Longbeards #6's at 40 yards. CVA scout 20 gauge
Looks almost blown. Very spotty with a weird hot core. Clean or dirty bbl?
It's not blown, that's a 9" circle. There ain't many lead #6's in that load anyway. That's actually a tight pattern. Most of the shot us in that circle.
Yes it does and it is spotty. Idk what you're looking at, but that pattern is situated left to right and has some good sized gaps. A pattern that isnt round is blown, either from the choke or the load. Likely from the load as I ran the LB 6d and 5s through 3 different 20s and probably 12 chokes last year and never got a consistent pattern through ANY of them. The 12 gauge loads were MUCH more consistent and had clear core and peripheral pattern densities. Look again...
