Very Nice 10" patterns, good work

That 1 3/8oz load looks really good for a SXS I have that needs lighter loads of TSS to keep POI to POA

That top photo is unreal!  If legit, it’s the densest core I’ve ever seen by a long shot. The ratio between the 10” and 10”-20” is almost 3.5:1. I’ve never exceeded 2:1. Wouldn’t hunt with it on a dare as there is minimal margin for error.   Awesome all the same.

I can assure you it was legit and exactly 40. I was glad that one made pressure as it’s a jewel. That will be my load of choice in my A400 this year, but I will open it to a .580 Carlson and most likely duplex some 19g 9.5 in.

Beyond impressive!  I’ve never seen anything like it. That’s almost 100% of the payload (1.5 oz of #9 @ 362 pellets/oz, 18 g/cc) in the 20” diam.

Thanks man! It’s a passion and I love helping guys get started in this hobby. Nothing like enjoying the shell twice.

Ronny,
IMO, the 313/233 Lil Hammer is hard to beat and the proof is in a bunch of flopping gobblers.  Great work!!!!

I don’t ever order 7s because I never get asked for them. That said one of my Northern friends tried some in the Lil Hammer and it did very well. I think I may have a small amount of 7s in my loading room. I’ll try a pattern for you in the coming weeks.
