HK.. That was a dead bird. I think ya may want to shoot a big piece of paper. This way you can tell what the rest of the pattern looks like. Good luck and happy hunting.

For me the H-13 is patchy as well with small openings. Contractor paper works nice to shoot at.

I'll have to try that,I was using pallet sized cardboard that I had been stockpiling the last few years but my good friend took a job burning dead bodies at a funeral home after 15 years so I am unable to get more cardboard at the present time.I am down to 2-3 that I will use up in the next few weeks.Thanks for the heads up.

Those pallet sized pieces of cardboard are what I use for my patterning board. I zip-tie the cardboard to a couple of electric fence posts. Then I attach a 3'X3' piece of painters paper to it with thumbtacks, draw a dot on the paper and fire away. I just replace the paper with each shot so I can see the whole pattern. The cardboard will take a lot of shots before it needs to be replaced. Most of the time one piece of cardboard will last a whole patterning session.

I have a ton of 20 gauges and lots of chokes.I bet I can get it to shoot from a few setups.

Have at it.....not in the ammo business or affiliated with anyone that is,
just sharing my tests. I have spent far too much money testing choke/ammo combos.
In my gun it was very disappointing.....longbeards spanked its arse for 2/3 the money.
For a little more money TSS puts twice as many pellets in the kill zone.

I am a fan of longbeard 5-6's in the 20 gauge,I also am a fan of tss #7 however,the kent tk7 shot pretty good so far through the one gun/choke combo I tested,the tss #7 is 20 dollars more per box of 5 and I agree it is hard to beat long beards 10 shell pricing but its only a few dollars cheaper or the same price around me. I am not brand loyal to any gun company or any shell company.My favorite shell hands down is the longbeards in 12 gauge 3.5" 5's,I am a lead shooter that has started to venture into other the last few years.

I understand that the kent tk7 shell is not going to out shoot the tss shells in most setups, however I like to try and test and it would get real boring shooting the same shells from every setup. I really like the longbeards and get excellent killing patterns at 40 yards but I already believe the kent tk7 is just as good for a killing pattern from the test I have done,the key is definitely finding the right setup for you, and your guns.

 Thanks for the info!! Always fun to experiment!!
I have to admit I'm a little bitter spending $115 bucks
Getting 3 boxes shipped here when they shoot poorly
Out of my gun lol.
A good education is expensive!

So Heart break kid how many hits did you get in the 10" circle at 40 yds.

Yea I saw the paper you posted I just couldn't tell much about your pattern the paper was so small.

RED NECK

It shoots high in my tc/.550 choke,It patterned above the paper on the cardboard the same as it did on it,I'm never going to waste my time counting pellets as I just am not into it as It does not affect my decision in the end.If I am confident with the amount of hits in the "kill zone" then that is all I am after.I am probably going to be testing it again next week sometime in 20 and 12 gauge,I am waiting for a few new guns to arrive before I go some evening and I will post what I shoot.I am hoping to have more time than I did last week.The target itself was  12" x 18" .

Yea I really don't care how many pellets as long as the pattern is even and no holes in pattern.

I had a good friend stop in earlier at my camp and ask if I had time to go and pattern a new gun he bought for his son and with the kent ammo.I never thought of getting pics of what his pattern looked like but with a mossberg 510 and I believe a carlsons .575.It was excellent out to 40ish.

I did however have my Weatherby sa-459 12 gauge with me and I had a box of the 12 gauge kent tk7 shells,I have this gun setup with 3" longbeard 6"s and It throws an awesome pattern with the undertaker .675, I ran one shell at 40 yards and It basically doubled hits in the kill zone,this choke likes this ammo.I will post what I have after I have dinner but I am gong to shoot these shells through that setup for sure,I bought the gun to shoot 3" tss but I found the shell/choke combo for sure.I am taking it in the morning for sure
