Win 1300 - IC .660- Hevi 7's

Spring Creek Calls

Traded for the IC .660 tube this spring but didn't get a chance to test before my first trip. Put it on the end of my Win 1300 26" barrel this morning and shot a Hevi 13 2oz. 7 for this test.  Wind was calm,  70 degrees, shooting at a laser measured 40 yards.  Picked up a bunch of pellets over the 22" barrel and a GT .655.

Thanks,  I liked how even it was. I aimed low as my 22" barrel shoots a bit high with the Tru Glo sights.  I'll shoot the IC tube with the 22" barrel, but doubt I'll exceed the 26" barrel numbers.

3" 2oz #6's puts 260 in the 10".

Thanks, I was looking at it on my phone at work and overlooked that. Anyhow thats a nice looking pattern. I love the 1300.
Have you deep cleaned your barrel.

I have not deep cleaned my barrel. The barrel is as cleaned after each shooting, just shy of deep cleaning.

I reccomend a deep clean. It will definetly improve your numbers. I thought I was clean to until I deep cleaned.

Before I switched to hevi I used to shoot win HV #4. With a clean barrel I was putting about 55 hits in a 10" so I deep cleaned and jumped to the high 90's. I would not have even believed it if I did not do it myself.

Go to clarks site allaboutshooting for a tutorial and fallow his method.
Its worth the 10 minutes or so just to see. Now I'm probably  going to polish just to see.

Good luck.

Nice pattern!  But...Hmmm...279 pellets in the 10" @ 40 yards with a 3" load and there are guys that STILL think you need to deep claen that barrel??!!  Not a chance!  That gun likes that load just the way it is!  If I were you I wouldn't mess with it one little bit.  You MIGHT get better after a deep clean, but then again, you might not and worse, you might get a worse pattern.  I'd leave it be.

My shoulder is still black n blue from pattern testing my 1300 15 years ago. Nice set up. Dead bird(s) there   I don't know much about deep cleaning nor polishing but I think I'd leave her alone  ain't broke, don't fix it scenario
