These things shoot tight. Been using the Winchester supreme 1 3/4 HV 6's. They averaged 90 to 100 in a 10" circle at 40. These are crazy high numbers. Shot 7 times. Lowest was 211 highest was 259. Got 259 after cleaning a big ridge of resin out of the forcing cone. Was surprised when I looked in the barrel and saw that.
211

Two others were around 230. These may be a little too tight for the woods I hunt in. Most shots are usually 20 yards or less. At 20 yards it's about a 4" cluster. May hunt with the 20ga shooting the HW 7's
Here's the Win Supreme HV 6's in the same gun and distance.(http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l196/Beaverslayer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160227_220045_zpsqebdo0jd.jpg) (http://s96.photobucket.com/user/Beaverslayer/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160227_220045_zpsqebdo0jd.jpg.html)
:morning:
Fact is, any of those patterns will kill a turkey. William from SumToy says it best when he asks "how dead do you want them?" :camohat:
I'm not suprised about the long beards because those are similar numbers to what I get with my 1300 and a stardot. However with HV's I get 90-100 with number 4's and that's what your doing with 6's. Have you deep cleaned your barrel.
Noice results....Congrats
