What do you think of this pattern with stevens 301 410, federal tss #9 shot at 40 yards measured with rangfinder. This is the factory choke that came with gun.Second picture is the wad that I picked up off the ground after the shot. There is about 15 to 20 tss pellets still in the wad that never came out. Anyone else see this with federal tss 410 loads.

Very acceptable 40 yard pattern IMO. The shot in the wad has been discussed on several forums. The amount you're showing is more than most. Five or six pretty common.

Look at Indian Creek chokes. Pair that with Apex TSS #9.5's and your pattern will improve significantly. As discussed previously in many forums with the Stevens 301 you need to make sure you have a spotless barrel to get your best pattern.
Exactly what Googan said
