Franchi Affinity 3 Compact 20 | Thoughts?
« on: April 08, 2020, 12:21:01 PM »
This is the pattern out of my Franchi Affinity 3 Compact 20. Cleaned the barrel and sent two high brass loads before patterning. 562.5 Sumtoy choke with Apex GT 20 1 5/8 oz 3" shells at a lasered 40 yards. I feel like the pattern may be a little loose on the left hand side, and between the 10" and 20" line looks sparse, or am i just over thinking this? Just looking for any input on how the overall pattern looks.
Always wondering wether or not to give a cluck

Nice pattern...handloads would be the next step toward an even better pattern. No issues with what you have though.

There have been a LOT of turkeys killed with MUCH worse patterns than that one. 

Go hunt and enjoy your time.

It’ll work but there is room for improvement. Hunt it this season and buy hand
Loading components after season and really fine tune it.
