A couple patterns from my 835

[longspur]

nice. it shoots everything you put in it well

Thanks, I have been pretty pleased.  It won't win any shooting matches but it throws a great hunting pattern. 


I haven't really found anything with #4's that it likes.  I have tried the .676 StarDot, .695 Factory, and the .710 factory choke.  The .710 is by far the worst.

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks great.

Very Nice! My mossy loves the win 5's as well.

That pattern with the 5's is rediculous!!!

That pattern with the 5's is rediculous!!!

I was pleased with it.  I fired the only 2 shells of the 2.25oz loads I had and got nearly identical patterns with both.  I am going to try the Win HV 2oz #5's also.  I thought I had shot them from the Stardot before but I guess not.

Looks good...

Here is another one.  I made a liar out of myself in the 835 3" Loads thread.  Just to prove to myself that my 835 does not like 3" shells I shot one today.  4 rounds down the tube with a boresnake between rounds.


65 degrees - humidity low
Swirling winds 10-12mph

835 nonported 24"
.676 StarDot
41yds
Winchester XX 3" 1 7/8oz #5 - $6.47 at Wal-Mart

119 - 10" - I measured a 20" later on and it was 210 but not as even as usual.

Great weather here today, 67 degree, 2-4mph winds, 40% humidity.


Mossberg 835
.678" Stardot
Hevi13 2.25oz #7 lot# 300500
42yds


10" - 296

DAMN that StarDot shoots even the cheapy rounds well...amazing...
I wonder if they have that Win XX in 3" but #6 ans what numbers youd get....that would be a real cheap turkey getter..

[Tom Foolery]

They do have the 6's in the XX load but no one around here carries them.  I think Reloader says they run 120-130 through his 835/Stardot.

[Nick_The_Tinkerer]

Very Very nice....I hope my Comp N Choke XXXfull will do as well (.670) with the various shells I have

I have to get myself a led sled just to save my shoulder lol

[ILIKEHEVI-13]
